While we don't verify specific claims because reviewers' opinions are their own, we may label reviews as "Verified" when we can confirm a business interaction took place. Read more

To protect platform integrity, every review on our platform—verified or not—is screened by our 24/7 automated software. This technology is designed to identify and remove content that breaches our guidelines, including reviews that are not based on a genuine experience.

A TERRIBLE experience - frustrating, ambiguous, and damaging.

A very negative and damaging experience, unexpected from a company of such importance.
Technical and functional issues occurred in two sessions, with two retakes granted that cost them nothing, but for the candidate result in serious damage in terms of lost time and missed job opportunities.
An inconsistent and seriously unfair evaluation system, never transparent. They hide behind confidentiality, but when faced with evidence, even when demonstrated in multiple ways, they adjust the reasons, aggravating or downplaying them depending on the outcome they want to achieve. In two sessions they gave significantly different evaluations for the same task, with the same assignment and the same level of execution. This is gravely improper conduct.

On another occasion, for one irrelevant parameter out of five not set, they refused to evaluate four-fifths of the work performed, which was decisive for other successfully completed tasks. Yet, in a pretextual manner, they invalidated the entire task, arbitrarily deducting several points and turning an exam that had been passed without problems into a failed one, requiring a complete retake.
A closed, inconsistent, unfair, and non-transparent system, in which the monopoly allows them to make any decision they want, pretending collaboration and “listening to feedback,” but completely ignoring any observation, even when objectively valid and proven. They always and only want to be right about everything, so as not to create uncomfortable precedents and not to undermine the “credibility” of the system — which, however, turns out to be something entirely different when you actually deal with their processes.

I no longer trust this company: it is just a business, a continuous cash flow fueled by the market, which fortunately for them ensures that companies request this useless and non-meritocratic recognition. One can work perfectly well without it.
A truly TERRIBLE experience.

Linux which is better than not

RedHat used to be a pioneer within the Linux enterprise world but has since 2018 started to lose itself. You cannot even access certain forum posts with fixes or even tutorials without an subscription.

Ever since IBM acquired RedHat one cannot fail to notice how the new owner despise "FOSS". The ever increasing small steps to remove free features and add ever scaling monetization to... everything. Funnily enough Redhat is still based and dependent on the OpenSource idea of Linux.

How excited I was when I installed that…

How excited I was when I installed that Linux distro along with Windows like 20 and 10 years ago, half of things were working and such and I do not understand really what is what here anyway. Open source product really rules the world anyway;)
