Great people & great culture

Pros

There are great people here - my colleagues are some of the smartest and most passionate people I've ever worked with. They are at Red Hat for more than just a paycheck - they care about something bigger than themselves. The culture of transparency and collaboration is a refreshing change from "traditional" Fortune 500 companies. The opportunities are endless to do challenging, exciting, and valuable work. You don't have to take a traditional career path here. It's nice to work at a company where the collective energy is so positive.

Cons

Some aspects of the culture aren't scaling well with the rapid growth and it can be a bit chaotic. Despite a focus on collaboration, many people are surprisingly slow to let go of tribal knowledge and contribute to collective/shared knowledge and work. Not every department has the same feeling of collaboration or trust in their own people and/or other departments.

Pros

Excellent products and business model that is resistant to downturns in the market. The company is well positioned for continued growth. The company often hires from within and offers opportunities across the organization.

Cons

Lack of communication across departments; too much overlap within certain business units.

Pros

You won't find many companies like this. The culture is one that allows you to grow and do that things you are truly passionate about. You create your own path, your own career and all the resources are in place to get you there. Whether it is your first company out of college or your 5th company as an industry veteran, you'll find all you're looking for here.

Cons

Nothing is handed to you. Work for what you want. The culture here doesn't deal with politics and for good reason.. the best idea and people win.
