Pros

The best part about working at Red Hat is being able to collaborate with highly intelligent and passionate colleagues. It is an environment which encourages learning and development. Employees are treated as adults and trusted to manage own schedules.

Cons

Some silos make it difficult to cooperate across different departments and geographies. However Red Hat is still in the midst of transitioning to a large company, so with proper management its internal procedures should catch up eventually.

Great place to work

Pros

Red Hat is a special place, with many special people working there and a very special company culture. Open source is the core of its business and if you like an open culture and environment, Red Hat is the place for you.

Cons

Working outside of the HQ can sometimes feel to work in a satellite office, you are more or a receiver of orders from the HQ than the center. Also the culture has changed a lot the last years with share holder value being the top priority. Also they don't pay as much as competitors.
