Pros

Invests in top talent, clearly some incredibly smart people working here. Internal knowledge share presentations and recorded sessions; exciting to learn and be part of an industry leader in such cool technology Leadership communication and alignment on company goals and strategy. It's motivating to contribute personal effort toward a strategy and technology I believe in, especially while profit sharing. Great cafeteria and outdoor seating. I've had no trouble getting vacation time or working around appointments.

Cons

Pace and workload can bury someone who isn't well organized and able to context switch and pipeline well. Peer communication can be very honest and direct; maybe not a good fit for those sensitive to criticism.

Pros

The product security organization has a very ideal work-life balance. The culture is strong on ownership and trust. There is a good sense of pride and collaboration across teams with low level of politics and high sense of "the project is the boss". Compensation is good for the roles. Merit increases and promotions are mostly transparent, but can vary from manager to manager.

Cons

Leadership direction can be whiplash at some times. Some initiatives feel directionless, while others feel misguided. Leadership does respond to push back and listens to employees though, but it often feels like managing up.
