Pros

Helpful people, liberate work-from-home policy, a bit higher than average salary, good visibility of work from outside - majority of projects are upstream. Good offices with (once a week) free snaks and free cofee.

Cons

Extremely low oportunities for advancement, moreover - it's, sometimes, actively discouraged, hard time getting salary reviews, big-enterprise attitude towards workers, engineers need to be able to do politics big time to advance their projects.

Pros

Red Hat allows you to work on anything you are passionate about with complete freedom. If you are passionate about opensource, this is the place. There are lot of smart people, from whom you will learn a lot. The best part is, you will get to be part of some opensource community officially, meet more awesome people from the community regularly interact with them and work with them during your office hours.

Cons

Compensation is bit less compared to competitors, but if you enjoy your work, that matters less.
