Pros

It's a place where you can really make a change in this world! With so many companies being a true example of "the office" Red Hat is one of the few places where an individual has no limits to what they can do. Being the leader in open source creates some truly different views inside the company, with a "can do" attitude flourishing. There is no task to big and no competitor to scary.

Cons

Sometimes pressure is high and it is a VERY fast changing environment - so don't come here if you don't like change :). Red Hat firmly believes in eating it's own dog food - so expect to get a culture shock if you came from a cushy MS world filled with Windows, Office & Exchange.

Pros

My work is my own. Being an open source company, I'm able to sign my name to the work I do. It lets me shows my peers and other potential employers the work I am capable of doing. No need for secrecy here.

Cons

Growing pains. As a company red Hats business has grown far faster than its business processes are built for. As such it can be difficult to get things done from a business perspective.
