Great company but the culture is overrated

Pros

The energy, enthusiasm and excitement at Red Hat are contagious. Working here is a lot of fun. There is a new vibe at the company since Frank Calderoni joined, and it's because he is challenging the status quo. I am proud to be a Red Hatter, and I am grateful we are seeing strong leaders in this company.

Cons

The open culture is exploited by those who use it to complain, to be negative and who don't want to change. People managers need better training as they don't know what they are doing with this change.

Pros

Salary and bonuses for consulting were good. They learned that I could do my job remotely once COVID hit.

Cons

Too many to mention. Softest company I ever worked for. Most arrogant bunch of people I have worked with. Never been stabbed in the back in any other place that I have worked. Only the brown nosers get what they want.

Pros

Lots of talented coders, high standards for developers

Cons

I have no autonomy; every decision is made for me. People don’t want to listen to ideas or opinions. The testing frameworks are closed-source and nobody knows why; if you ask why, then people get mad at you.
