Pros

Having Red Hat on your job resume.

Cons

The management especially within IT are so out of touch with their employees. They pretend to care about development with things like "Compass", but nothing ever comes from it. In fact, the managers just push through it for HR. Expect to keep the pay you get when you first start. There aren't a lot of opportunities for advancement and most of IT will throw you under the bus to make themselves look better. The CEO is also out of touch.

Pros

Good customers, mostly good folk.

Cons

Zealots, not ready to sell any deeper into the enterprise. They take criticism poorly. Hire experienced people, then expect you to sit at a bottom rung until you reach their ideal.

Pros

Red Hat Management spend a lot of time discussing employees and their futures. This unfortunately might not translate well at the employee level. This is a fast growing environment and any employee showing leadership and going the extra miles should be rewarded. Any initiative will be good before proved bad. Negative attitude is not tolerated.

Cons

Red Hat is growing so fast that internal processes and tools as not able to cope properly. This is being reviewed but it take far too long to implement.
