Pros

You have a lot of freedom to choose what things to do. New technology pushed to you in super speed rate. Multiple time zone teams which really allows to run constant development. You can actually fix something , hand the bug over at the afternoon and get the next step when you wake up in the morning,

Cons

Dead lines are virtually not existent for the common developers. Yes you work long hours but not because anybody makes you. Too many timezones on the same project.

Pros

Red Hat, Mumbai requires change of HR people, that is the only positive.

Cons

HR being integral part of the company but HR at Red Hat, Mumbai office is like "O God where I have landed"...they come @ 11.00am then go for coffee, then chat about mother in laws for hours together then they go for lunch after lunch talk about children, then go for tea, then once they come back they check emails and then its time for bye...Red Hat senior management; is this the kind of HR you have hired? for prime location like Mumbai? Above all this, they feel they are the kings of Red Hat and they are very well suited for open source culture. No activities, No presence, not approachable even if some one tries they will give you dirty look. How can Red Hat hire these kind of people? Office boys work more then them..People who want to join Red Hat, Mumbai careful, You may not like to work with bunch of ......unless u don't care.
