      Pros

      A lot of talented people work(ed) here and you can learn a lot from them and work on career-defining projects. Some amazing DEI efforts coming from individuals (not the company as a whole).

      Cons

      Does not live up to its values. Majority of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion efforts come from uncompensated labor of marginalized employees. Leadership is not diverse and is most often promoted from within and lacking the resume and skill set required of the role they move into. Underpays for any nontechnical roles compared to the industry.

      Experience depends on manager and projects

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      - comfortable place to get a paycheck - good, fun people (sometimes dependent on location and project) and activities - opportunities to try different role verticals (software consultant to project management, etc) - fun, huge yearly tech conference where all the consultants get paid to network and learn in one place

      Cons

      I would not join Red Hat as a new grad if looking to grow as a software engineer. That being said, people's experience here can vary depending on management. My manager was nice, but not a good manager. - kind of like a cult - limited opportunity to grow as software engineer, especially with modern tech stack - inconsistent information on how to earn bonus/promotion/grow depending on your manager - growth as software engineer depends on what projects you get placed on early on and who the senior consultants are/how much mentorship they provide - can get away with doing nothing (maybe this is a pro?). I felt like my career was dying before it even started - depending on location, starting salary below average for tech job and role (but other places are above average...)
