Pros

The internal culture at Red Hat is incredibly open and diverse. It is not uncommon to see engineers and "workers" openly criticize management when they feel that a poor decision has been made. Reliable financials and internal movement means you will never worry about losing your job. Amazing coworkers and frequently amazing managers.

Cons

Lack of driving technical vision. Overly conservative investment strategy from senior management when it comes to diversifying the product portfolio or being creative in penetrating new markets or driving deeper into existing markets. (This falls into the "it aint broke, dont fix it" category of business management and Red Hat excels at it - for better or worse)
