Pros

Interesting work. Great Culture. Awesome CEO. Different products

Cons

Mid-level Management is terrible. Manager has couple of favorites (Not based on skills/knowledge/technical expertise) who have his support(blind faith) no matter what. Technical discussions turn into personal when these three are involved(And they are involved in every project). Rest of the team doesn't matter as management doesn't trust rest of the engineers. Technically incompetent manager and few running the group. Different set of standards to different people. Management doesn't trust simulations at all. Design based on testing (Only) is encouraged. Growth opportunities are almost zero.

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.
