Pros

Top notch technologies. The most complex chip and SW development jobs you can find anywhere. Still maintains a startup culture, where each individual can contribute in a big way. Great if you are straight out of school and a top performer, you don't have to spend years doing menial tasks getting "experience".

Cons

Long hours. Definitely not a place you can go and coast. If you want that you are better of at Intel or Sun.

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.
