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.

Pros

- Abnormal has some incredible people on our team with a wide range of experience. From previous CTOs at other companies, to seasoned engineering ICs, to some of the best sales folks in cybersecurity, working with and being a part of an A+ team has helped me understand what it takes to build a worldclass product. - Growth opportunities and empowerment. As one of the more junior engineers on the team, it's been a privilege to work with a team that's incredibly smart, humble and relentlessly customer-centric. The culture at Abnormal encourages everyone to be a leader, and to be a better leader than they are today. - Experienced leadership. Senior leadership is comprised of serial entrepreneurs / folks who have seen other startups from early stage all the way through IPO. Very confident in their ability to execute and steer the company in the right direction. - Worldclass product. Abnormal is trying to solve a tough problem that no one else has been able to -- detecting and stopping the top 1% of email attacks and the #1 cause of financial loss in cybercrime. The efficacy of our product is a combination of worldclass ML modeling, infrastructure and product design. If anyone wants to learn how to build a worldclass product, Abnormal is one of the best places you can do that. - Covid. Company's response to covid has been great, putting people first and making sure that we are doing the right things to ensure that people are safe and feel safe in a covid environment. This has allowed us to work well even in a challenging pandemic.

Cons

- Very fast-paced. Things move really quickly so everyone is always wearing many hats as we try to grow individually to match the company's growth. Things are always changing (eng systems, company workflows and processes, etc). Every 6 months is like being at a different company. Definitely not ideal for everyone because things can get overwhelming or stressful.
