Pros

- work is decent, sometimes challenging and good - good benefits

Cons

- Security org jeez, charged on politics - No one has no empathy whatsoever - Everything is urgent until something *more* urgent comes along. no long-term vision whatsoever - as a byproduct of all the cons above, work-life balance is crap.
