Pros

Salary as good as other big VLSI companies. More benefits than other VLSI companies wrt paternity leave, insurance etc.

Cons

There's too much politics here. Everyone just wants to show that they are working, even when they are not working, and even at cost of showing that others are not working. At implementation level, some teams use very very old methodologies. You dont learn industry standard things here. So you will not learn things that will help you remain in this industry. Worst work life balance i have ever seen till today.

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.
