Business Outlook
Pros
Open source, still growing company, lots of opportunities, lots of offices, sex appeal in tech circles.
Cons
Red Hat has grown too fast and is becoming too much of a big company. If you are about to be laid off from HP or AMD, you will find yourself at home at Red Hat -- which is trying to become like HP or AMD. Red Hat lost its spirit of a smaller counter-culture company, and it's trying to impose (top-down) processes for operational efficiency. The open source developers who are still employed are less and less connected to the corporate entity which is all about process formality.
