      Working here is a mixed bag - Anonymous employee Red Hat Employee Review

      Pros

      Salary and benefits are good but not a lot else.

      Cons

      Politics are getting quite bad. Especially as the old guard is getting ready to exit and the upcoming crew starts jockeying for position and stabbing each other in the back. If you're low enough on the food chain to avoid this great, otherwise watch your back. They talk about openness and meritocracy but don't actually practice it no matter how much they preach it.

      Pros

      - Good team culture and work-life balance if you have the right management chain - Remote work if you're not close to an office - Leadership transparency and willingness to hear feedback

      Cons

      - Constant re-orgs without strategy are destabilizing - Manager pool is very mixed in terms of experience and skill - Poor role definition can lead to surprises at quarterly review time - Layoffs/reductions have had a chilling effect - Lower salaries compared to competitors
