Pros

You get free food twice a day. Many experienced people. In some departments the work is interesting. If you are ready to dedicate yourself 100% to your work this is a good place to be. If you want a balanced life, read below.

Cons

Forget 9-5. Your rights are gradually taken away. You are made to expect long hours 'sometimes', then you are made to 'understand' that this is the norm. Company is no longer doing so well and future prospects are plain bad. Management is unusually mean and implies that you are never doing enough yet spends their time on social networks trying to get new jobs. The work is very difficult (for example, engineering work at Google is significantly easier) and if you put up with it at the expense of your life you are considered 'good' and more is given to you.

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.
