      Pros

      It's awesome to work with everyone around you engrossed in building a better software company. Management is pretty transparent, and decisions are made fairly quickly.

      Cons

      If you work remotely, things lik the FMLA do not apply to you in some cases. This is a Con for any company, though.

      Pros

      A truly open and collaborative environment! Red Hat hires smart people, and senior management is very strategic and driven. Red Hat is a GREAT place to work!

      Cons

      Sometimes because everyone gets to share their $0.02 is slows down a project, but at the end of the day you usually with a better, more informed decision at the end of the day.

      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.
