Pros

Work life balance is great. Pay is decent. Benefits are decent.

Cons

After the Avast and NortonLifeLock merge, engineering culture has shifted to be from US to Czech Republic. Lost too much good talent, lots of AI hype men that aren't moving the company anywhere, and any disagreements are met with RIFs. It's a shell of a former great engineering company, Stay away.
