Vantaggi

1. In all my time working I have never been at a place where there is such consistent, emphatic, exuberantly positive reviews from customers. Startups always talk about Product Market Fit, and it seems like Abnormal has solidly found it; our POV conversion rates are insane, customers are stepping up left and right to engage with us and/or give positive referrals - I've never seen anything quite like it 2. The culture of the company is amazing. Abnormal combines the best of both an intense, locked-in and driven culture with one of support and empathy. People run hard and are responsible for the work they they do, but there is never any expectation to work extra on the weekends or past working hours. 3. There are some incredibly capable and experienced people on the team, disproportionate to the stage that the company is in (Series B as of this writing) 4. Other more generic points about hypergrowth startups also apply: growing with the company/outsized opportunity to own/ship certain products/potential financial upsides etc.

Svantaggi

1. The startup life is not for everyone, be aware of what you're signing up for. Being at a startup often entails more ambiguity, longer hours, sometimes putting business critical projects ahead of personal interests, moving with velocity vs always going with the perfect world solution, and that's not for everyone. If you are clear about what you're signing up for and are looking to run though, I can't think of a better place

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
