Pros

Management is truly open to ideas from all employees Company enables and encourages professional development Even in a company of nearly 7,000 employees, it's easy to stand out and make a name for yourself if you are motivated

Pros

* Gain experience in the fast moving world of open source development. * Free Red Hat training and certification courses. * Great people, everyone is really passionate about what they do and the people they work with. * Remote work, Red Hat has perfected the remote work experience. * Huge breadth of projects, from java desktop applications to cloud computing and kernel hacking projects.

Cons

* Not really a con, but there's not too many perks, although they're not really necessary as the projects and work environment is very satisfying in its own right.

Pros

First of all, it's great to work in open source. Besides that, dev employees usually work remotely, which gives them much freedom. For sure you need discipline, but being allowed to work when and where you want effectively improves productivity (for the company) and satisfaction (of the employee).

Cons

If you work remotely, you need to get used to the way of effectively synchronizing with colleagues, meetings on the phone / hangout / skype. You might end up having your manager in a different timezone and meet him/her in person after years, etc.
