      Pros

      - face paced - tons of internal mobility - low tolerance for non-performers - growing company

      Cons

      - not enough investment... doesn't match pace of growth - financial recognition and reward trails efforts - tendency to "squeeze too much blood out of the turnips" You can have work-life balance, but you have to insist on it.

      Pros

      You really are a part of something at Red Hat and everyone is very passionate about their work.

      Cons

      There is no work life ballance and the company is very understaffed. There is so much work to do and everyone works a ton of hours.

      Pros

      - Amazing colleagues - Working remote

      Cons

      After the acquisition of IBM, the company has begun a slow slide into being absorbed, despite being a subsidiary. The culture has shifted dramatically. I worked during the wonder years under former CEO Jim Whitehurst, and those of us who were there at the time know it as a magical time. That's no longer the case. Many of us were passionate about open source and its ideals. There's definitely less emphasis on building an ethical community and more emphasis on making sure that double digit revenue growth happens each quarter. Morale is much lower these days, and many people have already left for greener pastures.
