Pros

Todd maintains a culture of transparency even as the company grows Pay is based on role not location Huge variety of security projects that need to be tackled Hands-On engineers want to do the right thing for the security of the company and product

Cons

Security is given lip-service, but funding and priority do not match the adversing Security issues, implementation, and improvements are often deferred indefinitely Cross-company security work is met with extreme push-back, down scoping, and animosity The security team is going through a massive re-orientation from technical security work that impacts the company to a heavy compliance and policy driven approach
