Pros

ESPP plan has 2-year lock period gave good returns over past few years. CEO is very interesting person and empathetic.

Cons

Lack of management support, coupled with very high expectations ruins WLB. Lower ICs are also expected to perform at level of managers. Sometimes they are very cruel in giving feedback.

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.
