      Pros

      Friendly, open-minded, geeky atmosphere - at least at the engineering centre in Brno. The chance to work with latest technologies, plenty of training, networking opportunities. I am happy to recruit for the company I can honestly trust.

      Cons

      Plenty of space for discussions. Open discussion is generally supported by management. The criticism can be sometimes harsh, IT engineers are very honest. Be ready to take full responsibility for your action and words..

      A great company that really 'gets' Open Source

      Pros

      It's very rewarding to work for a company that contributes so much to the Open Source/Free Software community. *Every* product they start themselves or acquire is open sourced. There is a lot of talent in the company. My managers' styles have been very 'hands-off'. If you show you know what you are doing, they'll generally just point you at a problem and expect that you'll solve it. Very many of the development jobs allow telecommuting.

      Cons

      Many products have very geographically distributed teams. Time zone differences can make it hard to connect with the whole team. It also means there can be quite a few meetings. I cannot even begin to convey how much email there is. With many thousands of employees in 85+ offices in 35+ countries, Red Hat is a sizable company with a decent amount a bureaucracy.

      Pros

      I worked at Red Hat for a few years as an entry-level marketing person and, looking back a few years later, it was easily the best company I've worked for --- innovative, smart people, and a clear direction.

      Cons

      Any big company is going to move slow on some things, and Red Hat is now a big company.
