      Pros

      Competitive base pay Bonus program Values driven culture With so many people leaving, lots of good opportunities! In the lower ranks of the company you will find some of the truly smartest and nicest people you’ll ever have the pleasure of working with

      Cons

      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.

      Hey there, Thanks so much for leaving an honest review—we truly value your feedback. We’re sorry we didn’t get it right. As a rapidly-growing startup, we’re working hard to scale and iterate, and this can create rapidly shifting priorities. We recognize this does not come without challenges and frustrations. Our leadership team understands that hiring top talent is synonymous with success. In a high-growth startup, it’s sometimes hard to strike the right balance during the hiring process. We’re actively working on upleveling the recruiting team and investing in leadership development to support our rapid growth in a more sustainable way. We’re also committed to developing a better company-wide listening strategy and optimizing the ways we collect employee feedback so we are better equipped to address these concerns as they arise.

      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.
