Pros

Great internal branding. The "Open Organization" ideals sounds fantastic.

Cons

Not all areas of Red Hat have embraced the Open Org ideals equally well. I was in a senior technical role (not my first rodeo). I found multiple barriers to collaboration (amazing!) including silos and protectionism. Advice to job seekers: Look carefully before you leap and trust your gut. Ask difficult questions. If it doesn't smell right, walk away. Possibly consider a different organization within RH.

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.
