Pros
Red Hat is a great company to work for, overall. Excellent benefits, especially if you're looking for stability, work/life balance, and a work-from-home opportunity. You will work alongside good, smart, and collaborative individuals that live and breathe the brand.
Cons
You have to drink the cool-aid. Most Senior leadership roles have been established for years, with little room, if any, to question the establishment or break routines. Red Hat is famous for compartmentalizing talent, and placing individuals in silos. So if you want your ideas heard, get ready to shout and shout loudly–going from one meeting to the next only to recap what was discussed in prior meetings. It is a slow grind with lots of cooks in the kitchen. But, if you can get passed the working bureaucracy, it is a good company to work for.
