Pros

Coming from closed source software companies and very large matrixes organizations, I have been thoroughly happy at Red Hat for almost 3 years now. Red Hat, an open source software company, brings the open source philosophy into the organization across all teams and levels. Open dialogue is COMPLETELY supported, encouraged and almost never penalized. Your ideas are always welcomed with rewards based on Meritocracy. This is very refreshing as a middle line employee.

Cons

Compensation tends to be about 10-20% lower than comparable positions within comparable types or companies.
