People in security at these companies, what is the culture like? What about WLB? Thinking about starting to apply later this year but a bit worried I'll get trapped in a sucky situation.
Every director /VP is different. Some are more easy going and more effective. For the most part the culture is similar to the company, though there are outliers. Sorry I can not give a more specific answer, but it is a generalized question
Depends on the company and depends on the team. At Apple, we have many different security orgs / teams with different goals and objectives. I am in Infosec here (AIS) and the WLB is fantastic. Never been on call or expected to work late. However sometimes things can get pretty busy but nothing crazy.
Pretty good at microsoft
Manager means everything.
