Pros

The open culture at Red Hat is a real thing and is infused in all aspects of the business. Of course that does not mean that "every" decision is made by committee. Red Hat still has a business to run so this of course makes sense. The work Red Hat is doing is relevant, industry changing and innovative. Employees are passionate and willing to challenge one another to produce their best work.

Cons

Perks frequently do not extend beyond headquarters; benefits package is standard though does not hold a candle to other hot technology companies

Pros

Everything I do supports making Open Source Software available to folks who might not otherwise have access to this kind of tech.

Cons

Rapid growth brings growing pains. Not horrible, but there is still some pain.
