      Very clickish unprofessional and disappointing environment

      Senior manager
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      It says a lot when the only Pro I can come up with is free snacks. The pay can be generous albeit short lived.

      Cons

      Management is able to go rouge. No polices in place to protect employees from a bad manager. Take "Right to Work State" too literally with no respect for employee well being. People tend to "disapper" not a positive work environment.

      Two sides, one company

      Software engineer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Enormously bright people -- more than anything else, everyone is _proactive_ and professional. The work is challenging, you are rarely pigeon-holed (confined to only one type of work/role) and lots of room for growth and new ideas.

      Cons

      Red Hat is really, really political, especially on the engineering side -- sometimes, it almost feels like an academic atmosphere in that respect, which is good on the idea side, but bad on the political side.

      Challenging and satisfying

      Senior technical support engineer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      - Working with cutting edge technologies and best of minds - Great open-source culture - Repeat, great open-source culture - Opportunity for intra-company transfers - Great learning opportunities - Bonus and other perks...

      Cons

      - Sometime, it is difficult to track employees from other departments :)
