Pros

Pay is above average. Lots of freedom in the job. Strong technical leadership. You make the job what it is. Lots of great recognition in the IT world.

Cons

Not a sales and product management culture. Very close to cathedral and bazaar (the book). Red Hat is the bazaar where Open Source software development is chaotic, lots of opinions and lots of teaming where it makes sense.

Pros

- Work culture is awesome, engineers across the globe are smart and share knowledge very nicely. You will never feel like you are stuck somewhere during the work. - You are independent to work on anything you wish to, there are no restrictions on it. - If you are a linux savy then this is the best place to work, you will get lots n lots of learning opportunities here.

Cons

- Compensation is less as compared to other good companies. Best it won't matter that much if you love other things here which you don't get anywhere else. - No offshore opportunities
