Pros

The other engineers that I work with are extremely bright with impressive backgrounds. Engineers are expected to work at a fast clip without compromising excellence. Despite the high expectations of output for each employee, Abnormal cares about the experience and individual growth of their employees. You will not be slotted into some niche corner of the system to maximize your contribution and ownership. Rather, you're expected to contribute across the stack and system. If you're not satisfied with the type of work you're tasked with, the managers are accessible and eager to move you around to better suit your interests. There are a lot of different types of work that prevent repetition and routine. For example, besides development and design work, I often work on detection against individual threats that customers see or anticipate. This work is spontaneous and requires a quick turnaround. It's rewarding to have the changes deployed live (sometimes within the day) and see the immediate impact.

Cons

On account of the high growth of the company, employees are extremely busy, and at times there is less mentorship than you would hope for.

Pros

While pay IS competitive there were a few employees that were well underpaid even at the level they were at. Pro's - are that they educate you to use AI, the overall people team is great.

Cons

There was a shift in leadership last Fall and there have been cultural changes and not great ones. People are promoted without having the right experience required for the job aka senior manager roles. It seems like everyone is not happy and wants to leave. It is just a matter of time until turnover happens. There has been too many promises broken, broken leadership communication which results in a lack of trust, some managers are now micromanaging and it comes across as they fear for their jobs. They want to IPO which is great but ousting the entire GTM leadership sales team and head of people around the same time raised eyebrows.
