      Pros

      Helpful people, liberate work-from-home policy, a bit higher than average salary, good visibility of work from outside - majority of projects are upstream. Good offices with (once a week) free snaks and free cofee.

      Cons

      Extremely low oportunities for advancement, moreover - it's, sometimes, actively discouraged, hard time getting salary reviews, big-enterprise attitude towards workers, engineers need to be able to do politics big time to advance their projects.

      Pros

      I have never been bored! As the company has grown and evolved I have seen many challenges. But, everyone has always been willing to roll up their sleeves to help make improvements.

      Cons

      I honestly cannot contribute to highlighting any cons. That would imply that I have no power over the things that bother me. I have a voice for change at Red Hat.

      Open Source is a religion here

      Pros

      very strong company values. All hires are highly intelligent. A company with a startup spirit, yet the size of the company is increasing a lot annually. If you believe in open source, this is a very good place to work.

      Cons

      lacking of personal growth and career possibilities.
