Pros

Innovative and dynamic organization with an amazing philosophy and strong cultural values. Phenomenal CEO who needs to place his finger on the pulse of the core associates (3 levels down).

Cons

Diversity; better yet lack there of...appears to be a very cloned and cult-like organization (Raleigh NC). Majority looks the same (non-minority) attended the same type of college, share the same beliefs, and/or reside in Raleigh - unbelievable. What's unfortunate is there are surprisingly quite a few people who acknowledge this (once brought to their attention) but react only by shrugging their shoulders with a crooked smile. This will eventually catch up with Red Hat, on so many levels.

Pros

Our team is great and our (low/middle) managers work on creating a barrier between corporation stuff and me. Interesting projects and everything can be open-sourced

Cons

Sometimes you are forced to use technologies that are really old just because of long term support. Burocreacy is slowly increasing.

Pros

Great office environment in the city, diverse people to work with. Really fun place and have lots of excellent conversations. People from all over the world. Free snacks!

Cons

Not much of a career path. Need to do more open source. Not enough time to contribute to upstream.
