Process
The worst experience ever. I spoke to people at the Red Hat booth at the Grace Hopper Conference in 2016. They were very nice and set me up with a recruiter for an interview the following day at the conference. Unfortunately, the event had to end before the interview, and it had to be postponed.
I got an email from the recruiter (who was supposed to interview me) asking if I would be available for an interview the following week. I told her that I had some schoolwork to attend to that week and asked if she would be okay with me interviewing a little later because I was really interested in the company.
I got no response after that. At least a no would have been decent.
I sent the recruiter a reminder, which was again ignored.
I would not waste my time with these people again.

Red Hat Work Experiences
- 5.0Amazing Work culture & growth opportunitiesBussiness Intelligence Engineer • Former EmployeePuneApril 17, 2024Pros: Red Hat is known for its amazing work culture and ever-growing technical exposure to its employees. I am happy to say that this was one of my best experiences in IT.Cons: Nothing, as per me; it is an amazing company.
- 1.0A Cultureless OrganizationSenior Software Engineer • Current EmployeePuneDecember 13, 2025Pros: There are no pros, only extra and unnecessary pressure caused by incompetent people who bypass the appropriate point of contact and question you directly instead of going to the responsible person.Cons: They do not treat Indians as employees or as part of the team. We are only expected to entertain clients, with no acknowledgment for our efforts despite a heavy workload. The team is filled with people who have strong speaking skills but lack real competence. If you are sick, do not expect even a basic “take care” message; instead, you will still be asked about work. When you raise work-related questions, your competence is questioned, and other teams are trusted first, even when you are more experienced. Overall, it is a very poorly managed and disappointing company.
