Pros

Work life balance is very good, technology is rock solid and customer support is best in the business.

Cons

Culture. The culture used to be very "Opensource" and some what laid back, fun and you could express what you felt whenever you wanted. Really had to explain, but it made people work even harder. Now, Red Hat is turning into an IBM, Oracle, MS.....big IT company culture which is sad but has to happen being a publicly traded company. Bringing in so many ex-"Big company IT" into management has really ruined the OpenSource culture that made Red Hat what it is today. CompPlans are also reflecting those of IBM, Oracle, MS.

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.
