      Excellent Place to Work

      Pros

      Red Hat is still a growing company. Though not in full start up mode any longer, it still maintains the sense of entrepreneurial-ship prevalent at most startups. However, it also has enough process in place to prevent total chaos.

      Cons

      The same reason that makes it a pro can also make it a con. As a company grows, the ecosystem has to adjust to change, and many times those changes can be challenging.

      Your experience here depends on your manager

      Pros

      Coworkers, flexibility, senior management is approachable, good benefits, internal mobility

      Cons

      Immediate managers were horrible and incompetent and played favorites, Sales was a good ol boys club, company was still small enough that everyone knew everyone else's business (although environment was getting more corporate that this was reduced when I left) If the bad manager component was taken out, Red Hat would be a great employer to work for. However, since I had to deal w/ my manager daily all day, the bad manager factor eventually overcame all of the other benefits.
