Vantaggi
When I assess my experience at a company, I usually look at a 5 different dimensions: impact of my work, opportunities for growth, compensation, how fun it is to work there, and how strong a business is the company. Usually my past companies would rate highly across 2 or 3 of these dimensions. I can safely say that my Abnormal Security experience so far rates highly among all of these dimensions. The business is doing cutting edge work, and that definitely shows in how much customer traction there is. I help build products, of which customers actually tell us they love a lot. I build these products with some of the smartest people I've ever worked with. Everyone is respectful, honest, generous with his or her time, and works extremely hard. There's so much exciting work to do, so much to learn, and so many ways to contribute. There's not much more you can ask from a job, so in that sense, I think a career here is an abnormal experience!
Svantaggi
Naturally, for a company that grows super quickly, we're experiencing some growing pains. Some things that worked for a 10-50 person company isn't going to work for a 100-500 person company. We uncover these things as they come and fix them, so it's all good in the neighborhood.
