Pros

OK work-life balance, nice location, cafeteria on-site, parking paid for, quarterly bonuses are nice

Cons

Maternity leave could use another look in light of being far behind other leading tech companies. Maternity leave is not included in the pre-interview benefits listing, which forces you to ask an uncomfortable question during the interview process. Fathers get 9 weeks and birthing mothers get just a few more at 12. If you are a man/soon to be father: Red Hat is ahead of the curve and very competitive. If you are a woman/soon to be mother: Red Hat is way behind other tech companies and you might consider your options if you are planning to have children.

Pros

- great benefit package - regular opportunities for social activities

Cons

- incompetent, old-fashioned management - lack of direction from leadership (no long-term strategy) - employees constantly need to be educated on how to use toilets in the proper manner (and not leave them in disgusting conditions) - lower than average salary - coworkers can't comprehend the concept of selective recycling
