Vantaggi

- 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.

Svantaggi

- 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.

Vantaggi

- 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.

Svantaggi

- 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
