Pros

1. Very flexible company for employees. Very few formalities like mandatory weekly meetings, etc. Communication is done on a much more ad hoc (and efficient) way. 2. Products you'll work on are almost all cutting-edge and challenging. The people here seem to all have the common mentality of making advanced, industry-leading tech. This makes it both inspirational and challenging. 3. Little to no BS to get in the way of work and there is a lot of focus on improving productivity and efficiency.

Cons

1. Compensation is not where it should be. The base salaries seem high but the yearly rewards are nowhere near as good as other companies. Expect what you get when you accept the offer to be what you'll get at the company. 2. Work can get demanding but there aren't many benefits to make the workplace more comfortable. Obvious things like an on-site gym, shuttle services or even public transit subsidies would help greatly.

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.
