Red Hat

Fully embraces open-source, open-collaboration, and honest communication. Most other employees are fantastic people who are easy to get along with, humble, and always willing to help.

The company in general does a very poor job of learning from its own past mistakes. Post-pandemic leadership has been poor, with layoffs then re-hiring for some of the exact same positions. Employee-to-manager ratio is getting worse by the day. Over-paid executives and promotion of narcissists. Engineering teams are under-resourced and overworked. The company is incredibly stingy when it comes to day-to-day operations, but overly generous with director-level and higher pay and bonuses.

Requiring manager approval to change jobs internally is begging associates to simply leave and go elsewhere.
