Pros

Enjoyed working some of the talented colleagues in Redhat and community. If you are working in Redhat you will always be learning emerging technologies.

Cons

"Transparency" which is an integral part of opensource culture which is fading away. The management invests lot of money in procuring commercialized product rather than revamping the existing in-house tools. The people who put efforts for the redhat success doesnt get any appreciation where as the people who are involved in the sustained coaxing or flattery is succeeding in their career.
