Pros

Some very smart people, Cutting edge technology across different categories, I like all the people on my team including my manager, Some work can be quite interesting, Great new HQ building is being built for late 2017, CEO can be very inspiring, Stock is way up in the last couple years

Cons

Work-life balance isn't great and is very bad for some people, Can be very political, Hard to promote to new levels, Communication between teams can be better, Management gets shuffled around even if they're underperforming/adding nothing instead of demoting or being let go, Only $2500 401k match, Pay is below market average from what I've heard, No RSUs for level 3 and below, Cafe food quality is usually bad

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.
