Pros

Red Hat has strong company values, and a unique business model that makes it well positioned for success. It is a medium sized company with a big company presence

Cons

Office locations are far from city centers. I think this is a strategic move to keep real estate costs down, but I also believe it makes current employees unhappy and detracts against getting the "right kind" of new employees.
