Pros

"Culture" isn't a joke. It's real, and it's great. Lots of great technology to work on.

Cons

Lots of changes in the past couple of years - most not for the better. (quite a few reorgs, layoffs, hiring freezes, etc.) Pay is OK, but not great. (But, benefits are pretty good.) A lot of the changes seem like they are changing the culture (making Red Hat feel like a "corporation".) Starting to "invest" in too many things (telcom, automotive, AI, etc)
