      A rare company that practices what it preaches

      Pros

      Red Hat has a strong commitment to open-source software. It contributes to the advancement of technology around the world, allowing people to build atop the work of others to produce products and solutions greater than the sum of their parts. The corporate culture is by far the finest I have experienced. The culture of collaboration permeates every level of the business.

      Cons

      Red Hat's salaries do not always measure up to the giants of Silicon Valley. The work-life balance can sometimes be difficult to maintain, as everyone in engineering performs multiple jobs. Red Hat can be stingy at times, such as requiring employees to room together on business trips.

      Outstanding products and brilliant coworkers

      Technical support engineer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Truly lives up to the term "collaboration" and breathes the open source principles in day-to-day operations. Some truly brilliant coworkers who are passionate about what they do. The learning curve is very steep, but the environment is supportive and tech support engineers gain experience very quickly. Train every TSE for RHCE and require they attain it to maintain their position. Continue to develop internal and external tools to streamline workflow and make the organization more efficient.

      Cons

      The compensation is far from competitive. This aids in attracting those who are passionate about the technology and open source culture; however, it is difficult to raise a family and pay debts on the poor pay. Also causes a constant churn of the most skilled engineers.

      Pros

      With the right management structure, lots of ability to change roles to fit current interests and needs.

      Cons

      Corporate structure has grown and core OSS values have been de-emphasized.
