Pros

Good salary. Good medical insurance Interesting projects A lot of vision Engineers who have worked here a while tend to be very good. Very informal atmosphere.

Cons

Unrealistic schedules and failure to adjust to changes when projects are late. Complete lack of attention to work/life balance. You WILL be working nights and weekends. Not a lot of "middle" talent. Most people are either very good or very bad, which makes it hard to trust your peers at times. Disconnect with reality with regards to the size of the software organization. No 401k matching Performance bonus is very small and given out in unvested stock spread across 2-4 years, which makes it pretty much unnoticeable.

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.
