The micromanagement by the founders is the worst I’ve ever seen in all my years working in startups. We hire the best and the brightest but then they get demoralized and leave after the founders over-rule them on everything. Very inexperienced upper management and it shows. The company only has ONE product. Those at the top (including exec-1s) are least likely to exhibit our values. The company has no long term strategy, but yet mgmt talks how Abnormal going to be the greatest cyber security firm ever. Inconsistent expense policies. Unless you came from Twitter, don’t bother applying to the technical teams. The place is a sweatshop, even by startup standards. The CEO’s involvement in all hiring decisions costs us great employees. Some of the lowest equity grants in the history of tech. If you’re looking to join a place with a lot of upside beyond your base and minuscule bonus, then don’t bother applying here.
