Pros

Red Hat has a winning business model that is built on open source software so you'll get to contribute to the community and the company at the same time. This growing company has employees around the world (including lots of remote folks). Rewards and opportunity are ripe for those willing to work hard.

Cons

Just like any company at this stage of growth, Red Hat is experiencing some growing pains. Fortunately, the open culture places decision making in the open and employees are encouraged to weigh in on important issues.

Pros

Comfy environment with slow pace. Can learn a lot if willing to. No strict working hours. A lot of smart people you can learn from.

Cons

The slow pace can make you lazy and you can actually start rotting there. Need to stay sharp and don't let the lack of discipline to lower your standards.
