      Pros

      Innovative and dynamic organization with an amazing philosophy and strong cultural values. Phenomenal CEO who needs to place his finger on the pulse of the core associates (3 levels down).

      Cons

      Diversity; better yet lack there of...appears to be a very cloned and cult-like organization (Raleigh NC). Majority looks the same (non-minority) attended the same type of college, share the same beliefs, and/or reside in Raleigh - unbelievable. What's unfortunate is there are surprisingly quite a few people who acknowledge this (once brought to their attention) but react only by shrugging their shoulders with a crooked smile. This will eventually catch up with Red Hat, on so many levels.

      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.
