Pros

You are attached to a brand. Helps in impressing girls especially who know Red Hat. Work culture is good. At least, they try to be helpful. Pantry is well-stocked. Admin and accounts are highly supporting. Accounts person Madhav who sits in Pune is a gem of a guy. Hats off to him.

Cons

Less paid. Variable bonus is con game. Completely depends on whims and fancies. No career growth nor a clear plan. Highest degree of favoritism especially in their Storage QE team in Bangalore where there is no growth path unless you are in good books of one manager. 8 people out of 20 left in last one year. That includes a Sr. manager and a manager. Join QE in Bangalore only if you getting laid off from your current job. HR is exactly what the post of Governor is in India. Only occupying space. Playing second fiddle to the manager saves the day for them.

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.
