Pros

When I first joined, I loved the culture, the mission and the vision. I was able to make an impact and that felt good. They do ensure you aren’t going into the office with covid going on which I appreciate.

Cons

The culture became very toxic, myself and everyone else was working so many hours and your reward for that was more work. Nothing is ever good enough for the exec team, they want more and more. This company needs all new leadership at the helm to really change the culture. The favoritism is unreal.

Working in such a fast-growing company is challenging and means we need to take extra care of ourselves and make sure to protect our work-life balance and energy. I’m concerned that you didn’t have a great experience with this and I’d love to chat more. If you’re up for a confidential chat with me or another member of the People team, please do reach out employerbrand@malwarebytes.com Best wishes, Elvi

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
