Pros

Mostly excellent, intelligent and inspiring co-workers. Some opportunities to learn new technologies and contribute to updating the tech stack. Working for the security business unit means you're working for the Internet's good guys.

Cons

Management talks a lot about promoting diversity and team building, but the reality is that if your type of diversity sets you sufficiently apart, the team building is going to be about hating you, and the members will do whatever they can to make sure your code does not get into the code base, thus making your production look low.
