Pros

Redhat is a work place that embraces open and collaborative culture. I was there for few months only but those few months were incredible. I left RedHat because I wanted to go back to school. They have a lot of smart people with genuine interest in open source eco system and in solving problems. Management tries(not enough though, see below) to provide you with necessary tools to learn and grow. The collaboration approach is so evident that not even once I felt any peer pressure; we were all trying to solve problems with help from each other and from above :) Lot of munchies and cola also helped. overall a very nice place to be.

Cons

sometimes I had to juggle qite a lot between tasks and I felt that it negatively impacted the skill set and domain expertise. Also as a programmer, I wished I was doing lot more coding than I was, which was probably just 10% of my time.

Pros

Good Company to work with lot of positives but if Managers are Crabs then can't do anything

Cons

Managers are Biased... You see all the Managers in Pune are enjoying good life because they are there from last 10 years + and there is no direction at all, I got fed up and hence left the organization because all the managers are Crabs instead of Pushing the associate up they pull them down....Culture of Red Hat Pune is shattered.... Also feedback Pattern on Glassdoor, if you see 1 bad review then you see 3 or 4 good reviews immediately shared and I have doubt it could be manager or specific team manipulated. Red Hat Pune is dying ... Managers are the culprit... hence now it is not a good place to work. People request you to take negative feedback's positively and if you know anyone at Red Hat, kindly confirm with them before joining do ask about the manager you are going to join. I can name some Managers but Glassdoor wouldn't allow. Needless to say people who can be nice to managers will grow if you are different then you are gone with the wind....
