Pros

The engineers were nice. Other than that, for a period of time, you could get gelatos from the cafeteria every other Tuesday from 2:00PM to 2:15PM.

Cons

The managers, three of which they ran through during my one year there, were not qualified to be security engineering managers. Very much a waterfall mentality. No real growth mindset, or appropriate ways of growing a team. For security engineering and research, getting industry training was awful and almost non-existent

Pros

The work is interesting. Some decent travel is available if desired. If you work hard and set yourself apart from others you can earn a promotion.

Cons

It’s all about who you know. All responsibilities fall on Engineering. Engineering does much more than “engineer” and spend too much time on stuff that admin staff “should be able” to do. When something needs to change the usual solution is to have Engineers be responsible for it because many non-engineers can’t handle mediocre tasks.
