      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Managers are always helpful. Lot of learning opportunities. Promotion/appraisal is always there when a person is deserving that. For good contribution a person can get easy 15-20% appraisal each year and also everyone has a good chance of getting interim hikes. Lot of PTO/sick leaves and management will never restrict to use those.

      Cons

      Lot of reorganization happened in last 1-2 years. Decision making in projects are slow/bad due to that sometimes projects with bright future are getting closed.

      Red Hat has a lot of products on which you could work on if you make internal team switch. If you believe in open source, you'll love this place.
