Pros

Really interesting work to do, friendly staff all around, great values. Good pay, terrific benefits, a commitment to continued education. Zero drama environment where everyone tries really hard to get along. This company is doing good in the world for sure. Customers are treated very well and the products they produce help keep the world safer. Really positive environment socially and ethically.

Cons

Very poor communication between management levels if you are remote. I have been moved to and from teams without my immediate manager having any idea (and with each move being a surprise to me as well). I've occasionally been left with little or no work to do and have had to approach managers for more work. I'm often left in the dark as far as project roadmaps are concerned. There are rarely plans in place for team moves or new projects and most of it is done off the hip. If any plan exists, it's not communicated to developers very well before acting. Often project management is carried out loosely with shifting requirements and scope creep being serious problems.

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...

Hey there fellow Malwarenaut! Thanks for the feedback. For the interviewer training piece, we're about to roll out a revamped version globally for how all interviewers will be trained so stay tuned for more details.

Pros

Nice office area. Reasonable Pay. `Up and coming` security service. Tools are typically current.

Cons

Management / Team leads are not inspiring. No tolerance for learning. Recruitment sells you the moon; you get a moon pie. If you are not a 'one of the cool kids' your excluded.
