Pros

Red Hat provides autonomy and a very flexible work environment. You end up being exposed to a lot of customers with different needs resulting in learning a great deal. The organization is quite lean and you don't find a lot of higher-ups who don't have on-the-ground experience.

Cons

Red Hat is still a growth company in certain divisions which provides for a lot of opportunity, but comes with challenges in breaking through with customers.
