Pros

This company has brought a lot of formerly-high-end features to the PC. If it wasn't for it people would still be playing 3D games on workstations. 3D graphics is a very rewarding field to work in, probably more rewarding than anything else in IT.

Cons

The people in power are incompetent. It used to be that those in power came from other companies and were really good and took decisions which reliably bent over the competition. These people have long ago left and have been replaced with promoted people who have no idea what they're doing. These new people obsess, backstab, in fact, they do anything they can to hide their inability to think properly. The rank and file then has to live with the pressure.

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.
