Collaboration Works. Value Shows. Truth Happens

Red Hat culture

As a global company represented on five continents, we've come a long way in a short amount of time. We're a big company, but we've kept our small-company spirit. We're open, we're quick. No heavy bureaucracy weighing us down, slowing us up, or getting in the way of what's right. But we stand among giants—competing and partnering with companies many times our size.

And this is a challenge we have always welcomed.

Because it's not size that matters. It's not the bank account, the commercials, or the fancy promotions. It's the ideas. And that's one thing that has never changed here: let the best idea win.

What is right eventually becomes reality.

Despite ignorance, despite ridicule, despite opposition, truth happens.

And that is why open source is inevitable. Because the open source ideals are the foundation of everything we do. When we bring the best ideas together with the best people and give them the power to do meaningful work- then we can change the world.

And open source is changing the world already. It fosters openness. It strengthens communication and community. It encourages leadership and collaboration. It gives power and freedom back to the customer. It gives opportunities to those who otherwise might not have them.

We are what we believe in. Open source ideals. Red Hat may be small compared to the company we keep--and the company we challenge--but don't underestimate the power of people with a cause worth being passionate about.
