Pros

Surrounded by extremely smart people. I mean REALLY smart people. Lots of work autonomy. Get an assignment and I can run with it with little interference. Nice facilities in Santa Clara. Freedom to explore other areas (Deep Learning, VR, etc.). Great benefits package (other than stock). First class medical, dental, vision options. Company really carers about giving back (STEM tutoring, Project Inspire). Company reworking itself and leading in very cutting edge technologies. Lots of $$ poured back into R&D.

Cons

Salary below other sites in the valley. No stock grants (ESPP available at 15% discount). Stock on the rise. Little/no direction in career growth. It’s all up to you to try and figure it out.

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.
