Pros

- There are plenty of opportunities to learn - If you don't like your team, with some tact you can switch easily to another team - Work is meaningful - Great benefits - Opportunities to work remote or hybrid

Cons

- As a security engineer, average salary is below value you deliver to the company. - Promotion process is a bit ridiculous. Ones who are good at bragging and spicing up should expect to get promoted faster. Ones who are humble or not great at their writing skills have hard time getting promoted. Most engineers tend to leave the company having spent 4-6 years at the company as they prefer to get promoted by leaving the company rather than going through the internal process. - Promotion bar are not consistent across the company. In some teams, managers do realize the ridiculousness described above and promote fairly where as others don't. - Work life balance is not consistent across teams. Some teams do much better than others. Realize that negative experiences are usually more talked about.
