Vantaggi
You are attached to a brand. Helps in impressing girls especially who know Red Hat. Work culture is good. At least, they try to be helpful. Pantry is well-stocked. Admin and accounts are highly supporting. Accounts person Madhav who sits in Pune is a gem of a guy. Hats off to him.
Svantaggi
Less paid. Variable bonus is con game. Completely depends on whims and fancies. No career growth nor a clear plan. Highest degree of favoritism especially in their Storage QE team in Bangalore where there is no growth path unless you are in good books of one manager. 8 people out of 20 left in last one year. That includes a Sr. manager and a manager. Join QE in Bangalore only if you getting laid off from your current job. HR is exactly what the post of Governor is in India. Only occupying space. Playing second fiddle to the manager saves the day for them.
