I'm starting a job there on Monday and I'm excited.

Anyone else work there? Wanna get lunch sometime?

11/18/2006 6:00:05 PM

bwn?

11/18/2006 6:02:29 PM

What can bwn do for you?

11/18/2006 6:04:19 PM

I think BMWblonde works there

what sort of work are you doing for RedHat?

11/18/2006 6:05:06 PM

I'll be in their Brand Communications and Design department (Marketing).

I love the company and run linux on my own anyways.

11/18/2006 6:13:55 PM

don't forget to wear a red hat

11/18/2006 6:14:40 PM

i know a guy that works there

11/18/2006 6:16:19 PM

When I tell non-computer folks where I'll be working they think I'm talking about some old lady group....

11/18/2006 6:17:22 PM

i know a girl that works there

That's where BMWblonde works

all i know is that one of you needs to get their stock unfucked. I bought it at $13, got greedy and didn't sell it when it was at $31, and had to watch it crumble down to $16.

11/18/2006 7:28:02 PM

just wait about a year until this whole Novell/Microsoft thing collapses

then your stock will be doing dandy

11/18/2006 8:12:45 PM

I'd love to work at RH but not in the sales or marketing department

11/18/2006 8:44:36 PM

I work part-time in QA for the Red Hat Network department. It's an awesome job... busy, but a lot of fun and a great diversion from school. There are at least a few NCSU students or graduates in BC&D, so it looks like that should be a good time as well.

11/18/2006 10:56:48 PM

the few people that i know that work there absolutely hate it

that dept is not a good place to be from what i hear, people jump ship pretty quick and look for other internal positions

but im sure everyones experience is different

Running Linux on your own more than qualifies you for any position in the entire company.

Assuming you're working in the office on Centennial Campus, I work right across the street in EB2.

11/19/2006 11:07:26 AM

i know a girl that works there, too

I've only heard really good things from employees

11/19/2006 9:28:22 PM

YOU ONLY GOT HIRED SO THE GUYS WOULD HAVE SOMETHING NICE TO LOOK AT

I told our HR lady they needed to hire this hot chick I saw leaving one day after her interview.

They hired some Japanese married girl. Not so good English. Not so good to look at.

I'm talking about people I have known for years, people I have randomly ran in to, and people I have checked out on facebook.

11/20/2006 9:45:59 AM

you have got to get a red hat to wear atleast once into work

11/20/2006 9:48:36 AM

Dudette

Half the people on the wolf web are unemployed

A quarter failing out of College

and a third (of the remainder) actively participating in majors that don't really generate any revenue for the Economy.

Probably not the best place to announce your career.

Either way, Grats! I've heard its a nice place to work.

11/26/2006 12:38:09 AM

As a side note, if you ever want to grab lunch, just drop me a line.

Mondays are the only days I'm generally unavailable.

11/26/2006 2:16:04 AM

Thanks guys. Orientation was pretty cool, I thought it would be boring, and for the first time I'm actually excited for a "Monday" cause I want to go back to work... lol

^probably won't be this Monday but I'll remember to send you a PM.

11/26/2006 8:13:01 AM

11/26/2006 8:50:18 PM

Similar to Stein, a few other TWWers and I work in Venture 3. Walking to Mission Valley is a common occurrence for lunch.

4/26/2007 4:22:21 PM

Just going off of my original question, but I applied for a couple of spots through their website and was wondering if anyone had any experience doing that/how long it took to get a response/how'd they end up with a job there?

4/26/2007 4:23:54 PM

Someone hook me up with a job there. I'm tired of driving to RTP when Centennial Campus is only a few miles away.

4/26/2007 6:00:27 PM

Anybody?

4/27/2007 3:46:08 PM

LOL.

The COO of our compant came from there.

He was the VP of Marketing (BIG DOG, I guess). Also, two others came from there.

4/27/2007 3:55:02 PM

wow, now I understand the PMs

4/27/2007 10:00:30 PM

RED HATE LUNIX!!!

4/28/2007 5:00:25 PM

Their position always seemed so fragile to me

4/28/2007 9:51:34 PM

I work in the Tech Support Dept, and it is a really great place to work. The co-workers are amazing. I'm not sure how they find such am interesting and diverse group of people.

4/29/2007 12:00:18 PM

Minkagrl, are the open positions in Brand Communications and Design (the ones listed on the website) still being filled?

5/3/2007 4:07:22 PM

Well I doubt they would have anything listed on their Web site if they weren't still looking for people.

BTW, my internship is over and I'm not there anymore.

5/3/2007 9:45:14 PM

hey you Red Hat people.

why the fuck wont Fedora Core work right with many popular PCI video cards (nVidia, ATI) on Dell Dimensions? Its been broken ever since FC3. I mean its not like its some obscure combo. and it used to work on FC1, RH9 and previous. its pretty obnoxious.

and dont tell me you dont support FC. because i know you do, down there in your secret laboratories.

5/29/2007 3:40:08 AM

met a girl named anne at blue martini tonight who works there. i hear good things about red hat.

5/29/2007 3:52:13 AM

i need someone with some pull to get me a job in their marketing dept.

I could never get a job there because I absolutely HATE the application system that they have on their website.

That being said, can you get me a job in their design/multimedia department?

I think the key word is "greedy". From $13 to $16 is a 23% return on your investment, thats not bad.
