Pros

Red Hat is the most ethical company I ever worked. Also, the open source mentality is seen everywhere, from Engineers to Management. If you are looking to work with Open Source, Red Hat is your best option.

Cons

I cannot really point to a single issue as a big con. A small one would be that it's *my feeling* that some Sales people needs a better understanding of Open Source. Most of them do understand, though.
