Pros

- Really caring place, managers invest a lot in making sure you're taken care of and have what you need - Very little to no micromanagement - Lots of big company benefits without much of the big company bureaucracy you'd find at similar sized companies - Great mix of peer staff who are eager to get in and build stuff so you can learn a lot if you have the energy to get an idea moving

Cons

- Tons of fiefdom-building among middle management - Cultural and incentive misalignment between sales and [consulting] delivery and product - Culture can cross the line from "nice" to passive aggressive - The corporate direction and strategy seem to be missing...Red Hat doesn't seem sure of what it is or does and so there is a lot of jargon-trading or just selling & delivering the minimum of what our products can be - Waaaaay too much overlap in services roles that don't add much value, and in many cases cause more overhead and confusion
