Pros

- work/life balance - great culture which is dying - founded it's roots in open source - skill sets and strong employee loyalty in company you will definitely meet people who will inspire you!

Cons

- as an employee who started as an intern here the pay was always a thing that was not so great compared to other companies and from what i heard from colleague-friends not even in company - management is not so good (in my case i felt like they were just self focused) - the Red Hat culture is almost gone - This is NOT the same company I joined almost 7 years ago change is inevitable but this is just too much - upper management just run from responsibility who suffer are the lower grade employees somebody should do something

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.
