Pros

1. Very dynamic upper management. Very clear about their strategy. 2. Very good pay 3. Opportunity to work in industry leading technology

Cons

1. This could be team specific but too much of micromanagement. Often was taken to an extreme in my team and caused confusion about actual expectations, priorities etc... Also the manager would always talk in a derogatory and accusing manner. Seemed like the aim was to make me feel bad. Depends on each individual’s preferences and sensitivity but this caused a lot of anxiety to a point where I had to quit. 2. Growth can depend on a lot of other things than the actual talent and contributions such as what / who a particular manager favors whether an individual is from a “top” school

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.
