Pros

I joined Abnormal Security in January 2022. I had been following the company for over a year, and was impressed with the growth of the company. Making the move to Abnormal was one of the best career decisions I have made. I had a number of things that were non-negotiable when looking to make a move. 1. I had to believe in the company and the product. Abnormal is solving a very critical problem that all companies are facing . 2. Leadership. Abnormal has outstanding leadership who are passionate about customers, growing the company in a way that allows everyone to be successful, and are grounded in the mission of the company. They ooze honesty and integrity, which, to me, are critical attributes of a successful leadership team. 3. People and Culture. Abnormal is a company that is led and driven by a set of values that define who we are and how we work. 4. Work/Life Balance. We don't punch time clocks here at Abnormal. We work hard, and enjoy being able to strike a solid work/life balance. This is something that is not found in a lot of fast growing start up companies. All of the above. and more, were checked off. I work with incredible people on a daily basis. We have a very collaborative environment, and a culture that encourages everyone to show up and do their best. Our leaders are very transparent with the direction of the company. We are going through tremendous and strategic growth, which adds to the excitement of being part of Abnormal.

Cons

We are a Series B start up company, and there are some growing pains. While this adds to the excitement of being part of Abnormal, a start up environment is not for everyone. I like the pivoting, and being able to make things happen quickly.

Abnormal is fast paced and can demand a lot at some times, but you are fully supported by your manager and leadership.

Pros

- High level of ownership: the eng team runs pretty lean considering the size and scale of the company, which means that there is never a lack of scope for you to own. I don't think my teams have ever worked on something that wasn't impactful and meaningful for the company. - Strong teammates: a side effect of high ownership is the hiring of strong individuals who feel a strong sense of pride in their craft and what they work on. What you get is a group of driven and sharp engineers - Leadership visibility = more opportunities for growth: the company places a strong focus on rewarding high performers with more opportunities for growth. Regular internal talent reviews mean that we're always asking how we can put strong engineers in positions to continue growing and building their skills to succeed in their role - AI enablement: Abnormal is investing heavily in its employees and how we can use AI more. It's not just a "use more AI mandate", but rather intentional ways to enable the team and deliver tangible impact through AI usage.

Cons

- Running lean can be a double-edged sword: sometimes that can mean more work that needs to be done than the bandwidth available to do it. Creates difficult prioritization exercises and careful tradeoff considerations - Slow payment of tech debt: one of the side effects of moving quickly (especially in the earlier years of the company) is the accumulation of tech debt. I think teams are given a good amount of leeway to help pay this down, but sometimes falls in the priority ladder when we need to build something new to match a competitor
