      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Smart mid-level engineers Focused upper(most) management. This was before acquisition though

      Cons

      Increased mindless politics from mid-level management and overall quality of engineering seems to have declined drastically

      Not good anymore

      Sales person
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Can be a good stepping stone as the company still has some good reputation among customers as the leader of open source software.

      Cons

      Red Hat became too much concerned of its performance against shareholders and then it forgot its real assets, which are its employees. Do not expect competitive salaries or benefits.

      Company version of "Get Out"

      Anonymous employee
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      1. Great high level open philosophy. 2. Great CTO level technology forecasting/understanding and preparation 3. Some of excellent developers with broad mindset

      Cons

      1. This is a place of "Get Out", if you haven't watch the movie "Get out" please watch, that will explain this place easily. 2. This company is looking for slaves to work for whom already been in Red Hat for a long time. You will be just utilised and dumped. 3. Once you joined Red Hat, you won't feel that you are respected from company in a few months. 4. You will have to interpret(not read) your employment contract every word by word, otherwise you will be treated like a person in "Get Out". The best thing, you can do is never to consider this company for your next journey, otherwise you will realise what I was talking about after 3 ~5 months.
