Pros

Good compensation and medical insurance. Hikes are good.

Cons

1.) Job Security. Layoffs are now every month, here and there we hear that x people have been fired. Performance is not only the criteria, upper management is not having clarity. If a ZINC is opened in your name even if you have not caused that issue, you are done finished, pack your bags. 2.) Extreme Work Pressure: Always need to over-perform and still your job security is not guaranteed. Extreme tight deadlines and unrealistic sprint pressures. 3.) Micro management is on peak, well this also depends on who your manager is. 4.) Professionalism is going down, managers don't listen to your problems, they become the problem.

Pros

* Excellent products and talented engineers. * Great opportunity to learn cutting-edge security technologies.

Cons

* Toxic middle-management culture. * Office politics and favoritism often seemed to outweigh performance and technical ability. * Unrealistic expectations and a work culture that normalized 10–12 hour days, leading to burnout. * Employees who prioritized work-life balance often felt at a disadvantage. * Talented engineers left because they felt undervalued, while management failed to address the root causes of low morale and high turnover. * Feedback from engineers frequently appeared to be ignored, and accountability for poor management was lacking.
