Red Hat reviews

The PSE role was sold to me as the best role to develop with at Red Hat. I had a successful Account Executive for 2 years at Red Hat. They said the Account Executive role would soon be phased out. So I accepted the PSE role. There was a poor structure and everyone argued about what my role should be. The margin for our partners was low so they had no interest in working with us. Uncomfortable levels of drinking , men acting like predators around women, territorial behaviors by other women towards women, bullying, and in house promotions due to who you were friends with not based on merit. Poor back office processes. Some team members abusing the good culture at Red Hat and not working at all during company time. It’s a shame as Red Hat had a fantastic culture when Jim Whitehurst was CEO.

Hypocrisy is rampant. SJW mentality is everywhere and influences everything. As simple a thing as not being willing to wave the flag will get you criticized for not joining in to the movement of the day. To focus on actual work, disorganization and lack of process is the normal way of doing things. Departments are heavily silod and no 2 business units work the same. Overall company direction is clear & well done from the very top (which is great) but immediately stops once out of that level. Lower level management does not follow the directions from above and routinely does not do as directed. Trust issues are everywhere with many who are reluctant to act due to distrust of other managers.
