Pros

Most people are great to work with. Base pay is excellent and work/life balance can be achieved. Lots of autonomy means you can explore.

Cons

The lack of upfront planning and decisiveness means lots and lots of thrash downstream in the product life cycle. No bonus or raises for several years now means stagnant compensation.

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.
