      Red Hat employees have unflinching passion for what they do. It's exicting to work in an environment like that.

      Pros

      Each individual can make a difference because management is always listening and open to new ideas. Creativity in problem-solving is encouraged.

      Cons

      Micromanagement of deliverables. Atmosphere is not condusive to feeling ownership of products / services. Too much decision-making authority in the hands of non-technical people, even when the problem at hand is 100% technical.

      Pros

      Open source passion courses through this company like no-where else, if that interests you then there's no-where else quite like it.

      Cons

      Still quite a young company, so there are some things that just aren't in place yet or don't work very well, there's also some people that have been there for too long...

      Inspiring, fun place to work... but burn-out levels are high.

      Pros

      You get to work with awesome people (for the most part), and you get to do work that's interesting. A lot of respect for intelligent people, and you're encouraged to work on your own project ideas.

      Cons

      Can be mentally exhausting. Hard to not work 70 hour weeks. Always pressure to be bigger, better, more, greater. No work-life balance allowed.
