EMPLOYER VALUE PROPOSITION
You have the chance to make an impact. And a chance to challenge yourself. To grow beyond the job you were originally hired for.
Red Hat doesn't always set you on a clear career path. You have to have initiative. Make your opportunities. Seize your chances.
People at Red Hat have a lot of passion for a lot of things. It drives us. Makes us work harder and create better things for the world.
Passionate people have strong opinions. You need to take feedback gracefully. And sometimes you have to be able to stand up for your own opinions to be heard.

hip Red Hat is the biggest small
company in the world. Our brand and reputation far outreaches our size.
Our work is challenging. We're competing against companies with many times more resources. Our customers have only the highest expectations of us.
We're growing rapidly, globally. We need to move quickly and change as the market and the needs of our customers change.
If you don't like changing directions, you may become frustrated. You need to be comfortable with ambiguity. Processes and systems aren't always in place.
