Red Hat reviews

Linux subscription growth is slowing, and customers aren't as afraid to go it alone without vendor support, after seening the Amazon, Googles, and Facebooks of the world do everything in house. Ansible and OpenShift are the big drivers at this point, and if you're not tied to one of those products, you'll feel like you're not that important. The openess I mentioned as a pro can be a bit of a negative at times - sometimes you get streams of consciousness from product management about road map items without fully thought out messaging, which will scare the sales staff away from a particular produt. There can be a cult-like mentality at times - some associates believe Red Hat can do no wrong because open source is inherentlly good, and proprietary software is therefore evil.

Thankfully the utterly incompetent CFO is now gone but a HUGE amount of poor middle management and regional directors remain. The board need to start culling people. Now, not in 18 months and only taking a look at themselves and seeing where strategic management has failed will breed new innovative repeatable success. Broken processes (Compass ha... yes thats an utter joke) and other platforms fail to deliver to an overpaid Head of HR globally. The whole company lacks the color to change and fails to deliver its expectations because the board don't know what customers actually need. Summit proves this every year.
