      Do not work for Red Hat IT.

      Pros

      The company as a hole, has great people and some great goals. If you work in Engineering, fantastic place to work. People who believe in what they are doing and love it. When I first began working there, I really enjoyed it, but things really went down hill.

      Cons

      The IT department is full of incompetent people and people who are there due to nepotism. I really feel sad at having to say this, but the current CIO has really dragged the place down. They implemented ITIL and have generally preferred closed source solutions over ones that Red Hat itself sells. Just completely insane that they would put in place closed source solutions that specifically compete with Red Hat products.

      Pros

      Good compensation. Benefits are good. They invest in training people which is better than the industry norm.

      Cons

      Poor sales management. Lack of vision to grow company. It's a political albatross, make sure you kiss ass to management or there will be repercussions. RH looks for followers, not leaders. Sales management is the classic, 'Emperor wearing no clothes'....best to collect your (very well compensated) paycheck than try to make positive changes. Long term future is very dim once the maintenance renewals start slowing down.

      Good people, good technology, bad compensation.

      Pros

      The open source culture is very nice as is the technology. Most everyone I worked with was good. Training was available both in classes and on the intranet. Remote work opportunities were good, with plenty of support provided for remote employees.

      Cons

      As an SE my commission was very poorly done, and completely unobtainable. It seed like they promised X to make it look like a great position, but really only intended to pay out 75% of that.
