Pros

Get to work on some pretty cool stuff, depending on the role you are in. Usually it is easy to move between roles in the company and try out different stuff

Cons

Slave drivers, staffing is skewed, which means some roles are very hectic while others are sitting idle. Overall, you will end up working 50+ hours a week, atleast for a few months in a year. The hierarchy is shallow, which means you almost never get promoted. No fixed career path like other companies.

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.
