Pros

When I assess my experience at a company, I usually look at a 5 different dimensions: impact of my work, opportunities for growth, compensation, how fun it is to work there, and how strong a business is the company. Usually my past companies would rate highly across 2 or 3 of these dimensions. I can safely say that my Abnormal Security experience so far rates highly among all of these dimensions. The business is doing cutting edge work, and that definitely shows in how much customer traction there is. I help build products, of which customers actually tell us they love a lot. I build these products with some of the smartest people I've ever worked with. Everyone is respectful, honest, generous with his or her time, and works extremely hard. There's so much exciting work to do, so much to learn, and so many ways to contribute. There's not much more you can ask from a job, so in that sense, I think a career here is an abnormal experience!

Cons

Naturally, for a company that grows super quickly, we're experiencing some growing pains. Some things that worked for a 10-50 person company isn't going to work for a 100-500 person company. We uncover these things as they come and fix them, so it's all good in the neighborhood.

Pros

1. In all my time working I have never been at a place where there is such consistent, emphatic, exuberantly positive reviews from customers. Startups always talk about Product Market Fit, and it seems like Abnormal has solidly found it; our POV conversion rates are insane, customers are stepping up left and right to engage with us and/or give positive referrals - I've never seen anything quite like it 2. The culture of the company is amazing. Abnormal combines the best of both an intense, locked-in and driven culture with one of support and empathy. People run hard and are responsible for the work they they do, but there is never any expectation to work extra on the weekends or past working hours. 3. There are some incredibly capable and experienced people on the team, disproportionate to the stage that the company is in (Series B as of this writing) 4. Other more generic points about hypergrowth startups also apply: growing with the company/outsized opportunity to own/ship certain products/potential financial upsides etc.

Cons

1. The startup life is not for everyone, be aware of what you're signing up for. Being at a startup often entails more ambiguity, longer hours, sometimes putting business critical projects ahead of personal interests, moving with velocity vs always going with the perfect world solution, and that's not for everyone. If you are clear about what you're signing up for and are looking to run though, I can't think of a better place

Pros

- Loved by customers. They literally help us build the product. Never seen such close collaboration with customers who give insightful feedback and are ready for any alpha feature. - Technology driven. The team is full of smart and experienced engineers and management takes a technology first approach to solving problems. Combination makes it an amazing engineering culture. - Hard problems and a noble mission. Love the adversarial nature of cyber security. You can literally see impact of your changes saving $ or more for customers from criminals A note on how great the COVID handling has been: The company has embraced a completely remote culture and built a thoughtful benefits package to alleviate some of the pains which comes with remote work. Super appreciated. Also, inspite of startup craziness -- balancing family stuff is easy. Many people have families with kids and everyone is super supportive + generous parental leave.

Cons

- Lots of good problems to solve. Need more people. Everyone is helping with hiring -- so should get better.
