Pros

Red hat tends to have a heavy partner model

Cons

Red Hat tends to have way too many partner resellers. They need to thin the heard to lesser amount that are not simple paper pushers but add real VAR value to RH and the customer. Quoting process is broken there are over 50 steps to quote product. Partner model allows for distributor to create their own quotes and pricing completely unchecked as against current contract or past pricing approvals based on PxQ purchases with customer accounts.

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.
