Pros

-Engineers tend to have a lot of freedom when it comes to what they work on -Open source culture is incredibly strong, how the community will react is frequently considered in decisions -Really smart/hard working dev's

Cons

-RH tries to act like a big company from the process perspective but just ends up with a lot of misplaced bureaucracy. -"silo"d mentality across business areas, not much time spent looking at opportunities for different divisions to work together -Community/developer focus has resulted in a lot of projects being carried by RH employees but which don't contribute to the bottom line

Pros

The recruiter was very diligent in getting back to me about the status of the role which is rare in times like this where jobs are always going back and forth between open or closed

Cons

The jobs are always open or closed and that stinks but I think every employer to an extent is in the same situation.
