Pros

A great business model, many talented people, much opportunity, interesting technology, exposure to high-level leadership both internally and with your customers, opportunities to work within high-impact projects at Fortune 500 companies. There are almost too many good things to tackle at once at Red Hat and it can result in growing pains at times, but the culture is generally one that succeeds when it is all said and done.

Cons

There are many times where you find yourself lacking resources, dealing with immature or disorganized processes, and often just plain tired from sinking much time and energy. But there is nobody standing in your way preventing you from coming up with a solution to the problem and making your mark in this relatively small company with a big brand.

Pros

Part of growing, successful company Clean, important work Healthy work environment working with mostly smart, driven people who all want to make Red Hat succeed. Open Source just feels good.

Cons

Fast growing company who tends to keep employees who cannot make the adjustment from small to large. Some employees confuse open source with charity and do not understand the necessity of profit making. Everyone seems out to get us, I get paranoid at times.
