Pros

My work is my own. Being an open source company, I'm able to sign my name to the work I do. It lets me shows my peers and other potential employers the work I am capable of doing. No need for secrecy here.

Cons

Growing pains. As a company red Hats business has grown far faster than its business processes are built for. As such it can be difficult to get things done from a business perspective.
