Pros

Not even sure where to begin with this. Over the past year, I have been privileged to work with the best tech, the smartest people, and taken the most incredible journey from a small startup to a 3x POWERHOUSE! The Tech : It WORKS....and works better than you can imagine. The dev and UI teams constantly stun and amaze with our customer centric approach to always being better, always refining, and always looking to be better. With past experience as a practitioner and working for other email security companies, this has been eye opening and game changing. With a less than 2 minute integration, the product does what it does. The promise of true ML is here. The People : Until 2 weeks ago, I had only met in person maybe 10 of the amazing people that I get to work with every day. Even though we have been miles apart, I feel for the last year they have been sitting in the room right next to me, collaborating with me, and elevating all of us from a tiny tribe into a village. They push me to be a better me and I them. I have never had a team like this that I would go as far to call them family. The Journey : You get out what you put in. The opportunities here are endless. In the year that I have been with Abnormal, I have been fortunate enough to be promoted twice and really flex my skillsets to a positive outcome. I feel appreciated daily and I have one heck a team that backs me up every day. I'm not done yet and look forward to what the future holds down the road! Conclusion : This is a chaotic bus to the stars. With endless opportunities for personal growth, technology you just have to see to believe, and people that will change your life for the better...if you have the tools and the talent, you should be lining up to get on the this train because it might only come by once in a lifetime

Cons

I wouldn't call this a con but you have to be dedicated to your craft. This is not for the faint of heart as we move fast and challenge ourselves daily. If you are looking for a place to coast...you probably won't be here long.

Pros

Abnormal is a place where you get to learn a lot. You also get access to a lot of AI Tools, helping you in your day to day in a face paced industry. Growth - You have the ability to grow in your career with ownership. Employees - Everyone I work with is great. People push others to learn, but at the end of the day are still humans and empathetic. Customers - We get to work with a lot of great customers who LOVE the product.

Cons

Abnormal is fast paced and can demand a lot at some times, but you are fully supported by your manager and leadership.

Pros

- High level of ownership: the eng team runs pretty lean considering the size and scale of the company, which means that there is never a lack of scope for you to own. I don't think my teams have ever worked on something that wasn't impactful and meaningful for the company. - Strong teammates: a side effect of high ownership is the hiring of strong individuals who feel a strong sense of pride in their craft and what they work on. What you get is a group of driven and sharp engineers - Leadership visibility = more opportunities for growth: the company places a strong focus on rewarding high performers with more opportunities for growth. Regular internal talent reviews mean that we're always asking how we can put strong engineers in positions to continue growing and building their skills to succeed in their role - AI enablement: Abnormal is investing heavily in its employees and how we can use AI more. It's not just a "use more AI mandate", but rather intentional ways to enable the team and deliver tangible impact through AI usage.

Cons

- Running lean can be a double-edged sword: sometimes that can mean more work that needs to be done than the bandwidth available to do it. Creates difficult prioritization exercises and careful tradeoff considerations - Slow payment of tech debt: one of the side effects of moving quickly (especially in the earlier years of the company) is the accumulation of tech debt. I think teams are given a good amount of leeway to help pay this down, but sometimes falls in the priority ladder when we need to build something new to match a competitor
