      Red Hat is growing, and losing what made it special

      Pros

      There is still a fair amount of focus on F/LOSS involvement and unstream contributions.

      Cons

      Management is becoming focused on quarterly results, and losing focus on the philosophical differences that made Red Hat an innovator, a leader, and a success to date.

      Good company but culture is near gone.

      Pros

      Good work/life balance, good benefits. Pay is comparable with other tech companies this size. And the portfolio should make RH a player for the foreseeable future.

      Cons

      Lacking in diversity, tough to break into the good ol boy network that exists, especially at headquarters. Growth is tough as hiring from the outside seems to be the thing now.

      Pros

      If you are a geek at heart and want to work in an environment where "hacking" is rewarded this is the right place to be. With the rapid evolution of software, a person who spends their free time building systems, networks, writing code, etc. will feel right at home.

      Cons

      The company espouses an "Open" mentality but is just as closed as the large behemoth institutions known for their secrecy. Promotions are determined in advance of letting folks know there is an opportunity, external hires additionally reduce internal promotion opportunities, there is a lot of "who you know" when it comes to recognition and there is a definite gap in good management practices.
