Red Hat reviews

Sales management as a whole is uninspiring, very much status quo driven, and unable to develop people internally. Turnorver is quickly becoming an issue because of this, being there are plenty of opportunities out there. The Open Organization is a complete sham, that book has zero to do with how things actually work day in and day out at Red Hat. Meritocracy is great in theory but is just not practiced, that is such a shame. At Red Hat it's not what you know, but really who you know, especially sales management! If you think hard work gets you to the top, think again. Complaining and being seen as a possible HR threat will get you promoted faster than anything. The systems used internally make selling enterprise software much harder than other IT organizations. What employees have to access it so far outdated and siloed that noone can keep up with what's going on. Priorities of the company are simple: appease stockholders and that's about it.

Leadership team is a serious embarrassmen. It is simply the blind leading the blind. No one has a clue of what is going on and when you try to tell them or even show them, because they are so clueless of what to do nothing ever happens and they continue to make more of a mess of the entire department. They rather promote and praise those that have no idea of what they are supposed to do, those that don't do a good job, and those that have nothing else to do so they complain about working. However, those that actually work and do a great job at their job get beat down "verbally", belittled, demoted, and unappreciated.
