I worked at Red Hat for about 8 years. Red Hat pays at the top of the range for pretty much every position within the company. Engineers were starting at either high 5 or low/mid 6 figures, depending on experience and skill. Some made even more, and managers got paid more. It was a really great place to work.

The company really is built on, and lives by its ideals. I loved every minute of working there. If you want to work on Open Source, definitely the company to work at.
