Pros

Surrounded by lots of very smart people who are extremely passionate about their work. Challenging problems to work on. Dynamic work environment with rapidly-changing technical challenges and market conditions. Solid products that are easy to be proud of, and frequently products you would use yourself.

Cons

The company sells products to teenage boys, and sometimes this unfortunately carries over into allowing people (even managers, even senior management) to act like teenage boys on the job -- immature, male-dominated, sometimes bullying, low diversity. The deadlines can be very challenging, I'm not sure it's a great place for work/life balance.

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.
