Pros

If you believe the meritocracy exists then you are fooling yourself. Bad actors are the standard in every department. Sexual assault is common and is constantly having to be covered up.

Cons

It is actually worse than described above. We sell hires on stories of a culture at Red Hat, but there has not been a culture here for a decade. The pay is also way below midpoint of market value.
