      Business Outlook

      Pros

      - Internal movement is facilitated (given you have necessary skills) - People with lots of passion about what they do, specially on the technical side. - Simple and Solid business model on the mainstream product (RHEL), very hard for anything to go wrong here.

      Cons

      - Lack of seniority and strategic vision from part o Sales and specially from Marketing. - Starting to show the growing pains of juvenile companies, such as: Bad, cost management (penny wise, pound foolish). Whole departments are being created to avoid firing people that don't perform.

      Open source, open company

      Senior consultant

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      The internal culture at Red Hat is incredibly open and diverse. It is not uncommon to see engineers and "workers" openly criticize management when they feel that a poor decision has been made. Reliable financials and internal movement means you will never worry about losing your job. Amazing coworkers and frequently amazing managers.

      Cons

      Lack of driving technical vision. Overly conservative investment strategy from senior management when it comes to diversifying the product portfolio or being creative in penetrating new markets or driving deeper into existing markets. (This falls into the "it aint broke, dont fix it" category of business management and Red Hat excels at it - for better or worse)
