Pros

The work can be interesting and the engineers are very smart. You will rarely feel that your coworkers aren't up to snuff. Your work is can be quite self directed depending on your direct manager. The benefits package is good. The stock varies wildly so it is possible to get a nice kicker on the salary from the ESPP and stock bonuses.

Cons

The upper management treats the engineers like children. The praise for a job well done is shallow and public scolding via email is a common technique to "motivate" individuals and teams. The constant state of emergency dulls your senses over time. The lack of investment in infrastructure to prevent the next crises is frustrating and demoralizing. The workplace is all business all the time - all employee events such as holiday parties have been turned into charity events that management will pressure you to contribute to.

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.
