      Proud to work at Red Hat

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Freedom, openness, company culture. Internally you can express almost any view on any topic and it will be treated with respect and often many responses! Many original thinkers in the company. Although growing larger still a company with heart. A unique software company.

      Cons

      Growth is creating challenges. Open-source culture is challenging to get things done in a reasonable timeframe.

      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.

      Great technology but be aware senior management more like a family business

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      To be part of the Open Source movement and doing some genuinely innovative things rather than just donkey work at an old time employer like Microsoft.

      Cons

      Many of the senior management are close friends or relatives meaning nepotism is rife at this 2000 person company, with an over representation of NC "mafia." Old CEO had vision, was the last of the old guard to cash in chips and leave. Now the CEO's some guy from Delta who'll help cut costs, lay off folks and generally lift share price at the expense of everything else.
