      Pros

      Employee- friendly, ambitious, original company based on innovative approach to doing IT business. Its opensource mission make it attractive for clever and extraordinary people globally. Excellent opportunities to learn, grow and have impact on the development of IT business.

      Cons

      Quick growth results in inner fight between being open community based organisation and standard US IT corporation with cemented internal structure and distant command-control center in the US... There is a threath that at some point the open organisation philosophy of the company will be turned to pure marketing.

      Pros

      Red Hat is a proven leader in the Open Source community, it attracts a lot of bright people from the Linux realm. There are some extremely talented people at Red Hat, and they will gladly share their knowledge with you. Certification courses and other training courses are readily available to all employees

      Cons

      Red Hat encourages hiring based on "friend brings a friend" policy. This works for the most part but when managers bring in friends that do a poor job, this creates issues for the other employees
