Pros

+ Unique technology + Exposure to AI and new technologies + Nice immigration visa support (one of the best)

Cons

- SW product development is a joke - They want to learn by trying things out without involving outsiders who have been doing this since 10s of years - They have an integration mindset, which is orthogonal to product development - SW is all about prototypes. The strategy is all about showing prototypes to the world so that others would get inspired and buy more GPUs.

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.
