They Gave Me My Start

Pros

An Open environment with open minds I had been working at IBM's server help desk when Red Hat approached me due to my advocacy of Linux at IBM from 1998 to 2009. (I wrote a book on Linux while at IBM). Red Hat moved me from help desk to product manager and gave me the support and training to become a success, I never looked back ... As an African-American Navy Vet over 50, Red Hat never held me back but only gave me the room and tools to get ahead. I will always be thankful to the management teams at both IBM and Red Hat (now a joined team).

Cons

Westford, MA is COLD!!!! (smile), did not want to move to Wetsford, MA.
