Decline of a once competent company - Anonymous employee Red Hat Employee Review

RH has picked up all the bad habits of it's parent company IBM. They're building up way too many layers of useless middle-management, They claim to be supportive of developing your areas of interest, but in reality they have their own idea of the job they want to shove you into, and will make every effort to dissuade and block you from migrating to an area you want to move towards. Unrealistic ideas of what direction you should be working in, especially if it contradicts the areas you would want to move into. Actively tries to block, undermine and ban any projects that don't fit their narrow world view.
