Pros

Work life balance is exceptionally great. Salary is very good compared to the work load. Perks are too good: food, transport, medical insurance. Most of the work is maintenance with relatively no work responsibility. No need to develop new skills. Fixed mindset of most colleagues facilitates no stress. Most employees are relaxed and chilled, facilitates happy life. Management has no vision and it is very easy to convince them that you are working.

Cons

No growth mindset. Colleagues are mediocre software engineers. One cannot grow in career. Little to no software development opportunity. Appraisal system is not transparent. Need to do politics to get good ratings. To get any work done you need to have personal connections. Otherwise people will keep saying they are busy!

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.
