Pros

Top class colleagues and products. Cross-functional people really care about the success of other teams and lean-in to help out. Continued growth: There are SO many opportunities to expand on a siloed scope and make a big impact. The people who embrace that benefit from lots of development and increased opportunity/mobility. Lastly (and I know it sounds a little cheesy, but it's true), it's the first company I've worked at where you're actually helping to fight crime. Threat actors are actively leveraging GenAI to outsmart conventional cybersecurity, and I take a lot of pride in the fact that we're working to fight that rising tide.

Cons

It's a tremendous amount of work to deliver on this mission, and to build the scalable systems and processes necessary to take a late-stage start up, and help it become a strong public company. Not necessarily a con, but within that workload, of course, are issues that surface around inter-team communication, context switching, and the proverbial "shuffling of the deck." There are times when you're working in a bit of ambiguity, but helping to better define that ball of clay is precisely what unlocks a ton of the development and learning here.

Great place to work, unless you’re a Security Analyst

Pros

- Abnormal is very accepting of entry level positions (especially for the Security Analyst team) - The people are fun and enjoyable to work with, I made many friendships here - The company is growing - Good benefits, decent time off, remote work, etc.

Cons

My main talking point here is related to the Security Analyst team. Abnormal has recently blown up on social media platforms for people looking to break into the tech industry. This is because one of their open roles as a “Security Analyst.” Has minimal job requirements and is basically a gateway into tech. The only problem is, this job isn’t very technical and if you’re someone looking to get into “cybersecurity” this position probably isn’t what you’re expecting it to be. As a Security Analyst you’re merely sorting through emails ALL DAY LONG. There is pretty much no other responsibility to this job. The job requirements are minimal because this job basically requires you to know how to read a basic email. The pay for this position is low (obviously, given the requirements are minimal) and the work is just extremely boring. You don’t learn much in this position because basic technical knowledge so this position could be your gateway into tech if you’re really struggling, but don’t expect to love this job. This department is also basically cut off from the rest of the company. There is almost no way for you to network or work with people outside your department unless you physically reach out to them and ask for a zoom call. But, there is basically no business relationships built outside of the department here. I was one of the lucky Security Analysts who got promoted to a different team. Once being promoted the first thing I noticed was how often I communicated with other departments, this was something I rarely ever did while working as a Security Analyst. I don’t think this is a bad company to work at by any means. I’m grateful Abnormal Security gave me my gateway into tech and allowed me to prove myself to later get promoted/further my career. But I wanna make everyone aware of what they’re getting into when they are hired as “Security Analysts”
