Business Outlook

Pros

Still slightly independent and stewards of amazing technologies. People who were here pre-acquisition really are a family of colleagues working together with an open source mission and passion like nothing you'll likely ever see elsewhere in a public company.

Cons

IBM and C-level leadership is inept, slowly assimilating Red Hat culture to the IBM way, and soon Red Hat will be nothing more than an empty shell of IBM ineffective bureaucracy and bloat. Sun Microsystems meets Oracle all over again. Newer employees are being treated more like cogs in the machine via the IBM handbook and comradery is declining. You could lose your job at any point because IBM financially engineered a disaster.
