Pros

Engineers are very bright and very dedicated. Really fun to work with them. Sales and Marketing are above average. Administrative staff are fine.

Cons

A lot of work. Product lines are expanding and people are not being hired fast enough. While Red Hat has become a big company but internal processes and procedures are more geared to a small company. It is nice for a large company to try to be nimble and agile like a small company but it is not possible.

Pros

1. Open-source culture promotes a lot of collaboration and transparency of other projects. There is always someone to listen to your ideas and discuss with you. If you want to be involved in something, just ask! 2. Working with smart people makes you smarter! Higher effective conversations, many great ideas flowing around. It really gets you thinking outside of the box. 3. Management including our executives are all very approachable and down to earth. If you have an issue, or just want to chat, they will almost always have time for you!

Cons

Cons really depend on your individual team's dynamic and what group you are with. So it's hard to say.
