Pros

While Red Hat has become a large company, you can still have a great deal of influence on product direction and the company as a whole. There is no presumption that the people at the top of the organization have the best ideas.

Cons

For individuals who wish to have a great degree of top down direction, Red Hat can be somewhat frustrating and at times bewildering.
