Pros

Open and direct culture. Nearly everything can be discussed openly, and people here tend not to hide bad news. I'm not saying every BU/ everybody here would be equally transparent but as long as I have seen, the people I'm dealing with are pretty reasonable. If you are in the core BU, I mean, GPU, you probably have enough exposure to interesting and state-of-the-art technology and engineering practice. This may not apply to other BUs which I've heard complains about not having enough fun there.

Cons

More and more "data driven" decisions were made. Data driven is conceptually the right way to do, but when people who don't know how to interpret the data start to take in charge, the decisions tend to only address short-term perspectives, instead supporting fussier, hard-to-quantify long term goals. Also the 401k match plan is like a joke.

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.
