Pros

Great culture. See below: - Leadership that values employee happiness and development. Investment in programs and tools to support this (Udemy, leadership development program, peer recognition program, etc.) - Total transparency. The good, bad, and ugly. - A company that lives and breathes integrity, always putting the customer first. - Fast-paced. Very lean company so we work hard play hard. This is a pro for those who crave growth environments. Some will see this as a con and won't last here. - Cash flow positive/profitable company. Why do you care? Malwarebytes controls its destiny. - Great perks. Full medical, dental, vision, and life coverage. 401(k) matching up to 3%. Open time off. Free drinks and snacks. Every company will have their grumps but most people genuinely love working here and you can tell.

Cons

- Average compensation in Silicon Valley. Could be higher to attract/retain better talent. - Some teams are pressured to put butts in seats but aren't filling positions with the highest quality candidates. May be that interviewers are inexperienced or due to compensation. - Higher turnover lately. But then again, it's the Silicon Valley where people are constantly looking for greener grass...

Pros

Very supportive managers and a fun, highly collaborative team. The department fosters an environment where ideas are openly shared and opportunities for improvement are discussed constructively without toxicity. Truly the best company I’ve worked for so far.

Cons

The interview process was somewhat lengthy, and salary discussions were not entirely consistent.

Pros

It was okay before the favoritism and gender pay gaps

Cons

There is a lot of favoritism. When I found out I was making far less than a male coworker in the same role with less years of experience, they did nothing to rectify the situation. Also, the CEO is far too involved in Product and dictates rather than collaborates
