Pros

Innovation happens at Red Hat. It is one of the most successful and fast-growing software companies in the world. If you like transparency, direct and open communication, flat hierarchies, best ideas being rewarded, then Red Hat is the place to be at.

Cons

Fast growth means fast pace. Fast pace means that you will struggle balancing life and work if you are not experienced in prioritizing your work and saying no.

Pros

Red Hat is the world's most trusted open source provider and has consistently ranked first for value in enterprise software in the CIO Insight Magazine Vendor Value study. Red Hat offers enterprise customers a long-term plan for building infrastructures on the quality and innovation of open source by combining the leading open source operating system platform, Red Hat Enterprise Linux, together with virtualization and cloud capabilities, the JBoss Enterprise Middleware Suite, management tools, training, and professional services.

Cons

Needs to mature its current portfolio of products and make them more enterprise ready. Although they are the largest Open Source company in the world, they are still needing to mature their core products.

Pros

Very open, welcoming, supportive. When the collective supports (or rejects) an idea, action is taken based on the popular opinion - what Red Hat refers to as meritocracy (the best idea wins).

Cons

Sometimes overwhelming as there are so many options and possibilities to focus on.
