Was a great ride while it lasted - Senior Manager Red Hat Employee Review

After the acquisition of IBM, the company has begun a slow slide into being absorbed, despite being a subsidiary. The culture has shifted dramatically. I worked during the wonder years under former CEO Jim Whitehurst, and those of us who were there at the time know it as a magical time. That's no longer the case. Many of us were passionate about open source and its ideals. There's definitely less emphasis on building an ethical community and more emphasis on making sure that double digit revenue growth happens each quarter. Morale is much lower these days, and many people have already left for greener pastures.
