      Your experience here depends on your manager

      Pros

      Coworkers, flexibility, senior management is approachable, good benefits, internal mobility

      Cons

      Immediate managers were horrible and incompetent and played favorites, Sales was a good ol boys club, company was still small enough that everyone knew everyone else's business (although environment was getting more corporate that this was reduced when I left) If the bad manager component was taken out, Red Hat would be a great employer to work for. However, since I had to deal w/ my manager daily all day, the bad manager factor eventually overcame all of the other benefits.

      Pros

      Great opportunities for learning, good benefits, great people!

      Cons

      It's easy to get lost in a place like RedHat. If you're a consultants you are expected to be 'on the road' nearly 100% of the time. If you go to work there and be a consultant expect to be living in cheap hotels and eating on a low end budget. You wouldn't believe some of the crummy hotels I had to stay at. Business travel is bad enough to begin with, fighting with a rat to keep yoru snickers bar in the hotel room is just too much on top!
