Open culture and flexibility, but growth depends on team and tech stack

Pros

Red Hat has an open and transparent culture where you feel valued. Flexible timings and a good work-life balance make it a great place to work. Most teams are collaborative, and the company encourages learning and ownership.

Cons

Your experience can vary greatly depending on the team. Some teams are poorly managed, which can impact your work satisfaction. The tech stack in many areas is limited, so you may not see significant growth in newer technologies. Additionally, many policies and processes come from IBM, which can sometimes slow down innovation and flexibility.
