Pros

Red Hat culture. The firehose of knowledge is freely accessible. You will learn a lot here if you want to, and there are some really great initiatives to get involved with.

Cons

They are riding on their previous reputation of being the open source cool kid - their salaries have typically reflected that everyone wants to work for the premier open source software company. Post-IBM acquisition, things are slowly starting to change, like they did when Starbucks bought the local coffee shop I worked at in college.

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.
