Pros

Solid products and an excellent technical team to help build and support the sales efforts.

Cons

Compensation is in the middle to low range - open source is not as popular in Canada as it is in the US so your commission is going to suffer. Canadian operation has not had anywhere near the same level of success as the US. The Canadian Sales Management team is disappointing at best..

Pros

If you are an Open Source champion, understand the business practices of Open Source, and love full-stack technology, Red Hat is a great place to enrich your technical knowledge. Some very smart and fun people to work with. There is never a shortage of things to learn.

Cons

Cloud is a fast moving target and the infrastructure needed for service providers is changing. Open Source can tend to be on longer release cycles, and things may tend to move slowly.
