Pros

While Red Hat has become a large company, you can still have a great deal of influence on product direction and the company as a whole. There is no presumption that the people at the top of the organization have the best ideas.

Cons

For individuals who wish to have a great degree of top down direction, Red Hat can be somewhat frustrating and at times bewildering.

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.
