Pros

If you want to advance your career by taking shortcuts which will harm the short-term and long-term success of the company WhiteHat Security is for you. If you want to avoid critical thinking WhiteHat Security is for you. If you want your experience and expertise to be routinely ignored when it doesn't match your executives' fabricated notions of reality WhiteHat Security is for you.

Cons

Product management and engineering executive management are so bad at vision, prioritization, and expectation setting that the burden of executing to plans which everyone knows are impossible falls to you, the lowly individual contributor. You will be in an endless death march, pushed through manipulation and passive-aggressive corporate politics to ship solutions you know are bad. You've said they're bad and nobody cares. You said they'll increase the cost of doing business going forward and that is ignored in favor of disingenuously checking off a deliverable on the roadmap. Next quarter when it's even more difficult for you to deliver due to the cumulative bad decisions piling up everywhere in this organization you'll be penalized for doing a poor job. All because of a poor attempt at quantifiable metrics administered by people have no idea how to effectively measure -combined- with a toxic blame-filled culture of each department wrangling to throw the other under the bus at the end of each quarter. All this when in reality the company is doomed to this failure spiral. This is how we've always done it.
