Pros

Friendly and open company culture, the opportunity to contribute to a wide variety of projects and grow new skills by working collaboratively with other teams. Approachable and supportive management, deliberate effort to help employees grow. Mutually respectful workplace with a fun-loving culture.

Cons

If you like consistent structure, Red Hat might not work for you. Process changes, tool changes, reorganizations, and growth are pretty much a constant factor in day-to-day operations. Sometimes important resources are too scarce, so some strategic objectives are hard to accomplish. The upside of this is that the open and transparent prioritization of projects makes it clear WHY certain things cannot be accomplished within a desired time frame.

Pros

Extremely talented and motivated people Great product and ecosystem around Kubernetes

Cons

Bluewashing is real. After 4 years past acquisition it is not Open Decision company anymore. There is no clear communication about the direction where the company goes, some departments were moved to IBM without clear explanation why. Promotion process that was clear before is gone, and now your salary increase or promotion are directly depend on your relationship with the manager and not from your contribution to the team or the product.
