      Pros

      When I joined Red hat couple of years back I was excited to learn emerging technologies. But the opensource culture is fading out.

      Cons

      The top management lacks technical knowledge of redhat products and opensource`culture. The transparency of information is fading out. The decision making is on hands of couple of political souls...The growth opportunity is available for only those people who employing all his arts to cajole to the boss rather than who deserves..The leadership team encourages to procure commercialized tools without thorough evaluation of in-house tools.

      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.
