Pros
- You will get out of Red Hat that which you put in and have flexibility in career - The pay isn't bad compared to other non-vendor similar positions - The expectations of work before everything are definitely not there and it's not a cutthroat environment amongst colleagues in similar roles
Cons
- The rewards for equal effort aren't equitably distributed and the flexibility isn't tied to your professional output but rather to the management you happen to report - Diversity and Inclusion is more talk than action and HR or People Team are more ombudsmen or a buffer between employee and management than true HR - Change for change sake often leads to duplicative and redundant roles - Very little mandate to affect or enfirce said change thus your exposure & therefore influence beyond your small sphere of contacts is limited by a very oddly matrixed yet heirarchical org/reporting chart/chain. - Meritocracy isn't a good thing, it marginalizes those whom are unsuccessful branding them somehow less fit
