Pros

1. Great high level open philosophy. 2. Great CTO level technology forecasting/understanding and preparation 3. Some of excellent developers with broad mindset

Cons

1. This is a place of "Get Out", if you haven't watch the movie "Get out" please watch, that will explain this place easily. 2. This company is looking for slaves to work for whom already been in Red Hat for a long time. You will be just utilised and dumped. 3. Once you joined Red Hat, you won't feel that you are respected from company in a few months. 4. You will have to interpret(not read) your employment contract every word by word, otherwise you will be treated like a person in "Get Out". The best thing, you can do is never to consider this company for your next journey, otherwise you will realise what I was talking about after 3 ~5 months.
