Pros

the pay is good as compared to other silicon valley companies... at worst it is competitive. The company has good competition and tries to keep getting ahead in the game and develops new competitiors and such making the environment very challenging. The standards set by the company for employees is very high. So you get brilliant coworkers from whom you learn a lot.

Cons

The work life is not balanced. sometimes you have so much to do you that you end up spending nights and weekends at the office. At other times you have nothing to do at all and you might as well go home and sleep. The coworkers while being brilliant are nerds so there is no fun.

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.
