Pros
The companies open source cultuer is well known, and has certainly made this a destination employer. All of that is true and deeply engrained in the stratregic opertions of the company. At a more personal level, Red Hat is big tech, so the benefits and work perks are outstanding. PTO is very generous, health plans are top notch, and comp is high.
Cons
The open source becomes somewhat muddled at the tactical level, especially in Red Hat Consulting. Many recent leadership hires have come from Big Consulting and operational direction of RHC to to become more like Big Consulting. There is increasing emphasis on micro-management, and less focus on the amazing technology leadership that our consulting team provide. Inernal promotions have slowed, and as more and more eladers come from outside the Red Hat culture, the culture is increasingly eroding. Opportunites for advancement are also declining as those same new leaders seek to bring in their friends, no integrate into the legacy culture.
