Pros
The Red Hat that once was, before current leadership was in place, was full of opportunity and growth. Open was real.
Kontras
The current leadership in place at Red Hat is out to change the place altogether. Take the recent layoffs as an example, the People Team did their layoffs in a 4 minute call. THE PEOPLE TEAM. The team that is supposed to care about how this place is run. How people are treated. They showed their true colors. They “eliminated roles” and it wasn’t “performance based” but then it’s uncovered that they just moved the remaining people into those roles to put a bandaid on the gaps. Is that how it works? Seems a little…suspicious. And it cannot go without being addressed that the current leader of the People Team is essentially hiring all of her friends from Cisco. She’s been at Red Hat 2 years and slowly chipping away at this great company. Conforming to other companies cultures and ways of doing business and erasing how Red Hat has operated for so many years. Don’t get me wrong, change is necessary and how a company grows. But at what point do we question the leadership for devastating change?
