      Red Hat - A pretty good place to work

      Principal software engineer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Good company for learning about and participating in open source. Lots of room for creativity. Salaries are competitive when you negotiate. Benefits are reasonable. The company is filled with a variety of top-notch developers and creative thinkers all over the world which really makes for a diverse group.

      Cons

      Benefits seem to get sparser each year with increased pricing. Organization runs at 100% capacity. Difficult to train new employees in the culture of Red Hat because the company is growing very quickly.

      Good job if you're given responsibility and real work from the get-go.

      Pros

      One of the best Tech companies period. Lots to learn, amazing people to learn from. A few times I was looking to find out who wrote something, figuring it they were halfway around the world, when they were two or three cubicles away. Some of the brightest minds in the Open Source world are sitting next to you and always willing to help.

      Cons

      If you're not doing development, it's kind of boring. Kind of really, really boring. It quickly turns from a fun, laid back place, into a desert of cubicles where you're trying to fight to stay awake until 5pm.
