Pros

RH has the right attitude about remote employees -- and it works very well for us. Maybe you've heard anti-remote ideas lately from other companies. They are living in the past. RH is the corporate face of open source. It's pretty easy for me to believe that what we're doing here actually matters. The people I've met here ( in 5 years ) are smart, easy to get along with, and a pleasure to work with. I realize this sounds a little like I'm seriously drinking the KoolAid. Well -- okay. I've had a lot of jobs in the last 20 years, and this is the first place I've really liked.

Cons

Being remote can get a little isolating -- a weird combination of always being in touch with everybody, and never seeing anybody.

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.
