      Pros

      Great open environment with constant innovation and people who know how to get stuff done. With the company always growing, new projects and ideas are continuously flowing.

      Cons

      Some people are too laid back with the open culture, not willing to get their hands dirty and stick their leg out there when something needs to get done that might be against the social norm of the workplace

      Red Hat Challenge@Labs is a regional knowledge-based challenge where you will compete with other students across different countries. Through this challenge, we hope to encourage hands-on participation in open source technologies for areas such as application development, innovative planning and more. This year, we've opened the challenge to more countries, including Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, Hong Kong, Taiwan, China, and for the first time, South Korea.
