      Pros

      Red Hat provides the opportunity to get involved with a lot of very high profile technology at very interesting customer sites

      Cons

      Red Hat does not typically share what is going on with tools developers write with the developers, and seems to be a sales-dominated culture. Employees can be underpaid if they do not stick up for themselves.

      Pros

      - Good team culture and work-life balance if you have the right management chain - Remote work if you're not close to an office - Leadership transparency and willingness to hear feedback

      Cons

      - Constant re-orgs without strategy are destabilizing - Manager pool is very mixed in terms of experience and skill - Poor role definition can lead to surprises at quarterly review time - Layoffs/reductions have had a chilling effect - Lower salaries compared to competitors
