Pros

Red Hat is special in the software industry because its business model based in open source development. Its approach to customers and its messages to the market are very interesting from the point of view of a sales representative.

Cons

Typical downsides of any software start-up company. In may case, the main pain, is my country manager given his lack of participation with the sales activity and his lack of plans for the long-term.
