Pros

Full remote Decent pay for remote

Cons

- Incredible thrash because leadership has no vision or idea how to successfully accomplish goals. Desperately trying to make things now that was asked for years ago because they pursued bad bets which is delaying IPO. Always a desperate, sprint vibe instead of gradually building to a vision. - "Leaders" are yes-men or they are cut. - Managers are mostly empire builders. Provide literally nothing and farm the credit from their productive workers. They do not build real teams or people. Magically only get promoted or get good reviews. - Extremely toxic culture. You are just a code-monkey, nothing else. Come here if you just want to turn off brain and code whatever they tell you. That's all you have to do. Doesn't matter if you have to redo or things will break in a year. Just code and be quiet.

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us, though we're disappointed to hear it's been frustrating. We understand and value the role leadership plays in the employee experience at Abnormal. While we know that priorities can shift quickly at our rate of growth, we work hard to prioritize transparency about our vision and roadmap through our weekly updates, monthly Town Halls and departmental All-Hands meetings, and to support a culture where employee feedback is heard, valued and actioned against. We will share this feedback with the appropriate leadership teams, and encourage you to share through our internal feedback channels as well. Thank you for your commitment to Abnormal, and all that you do to make us great. - Abnormal People Team

Pros

While pay IS competitive there were a few employees that were well underpaid even at the level they were at. Pro's - are that they educate you to use AI, the overall people team is great.

Cons

There was a shift in leadership last Fall and there have been cultural changes and not great ones. People are promoted without having the right experience required for the job aka senior manager roles. It seems like everyone is not happy and wants to leave. It is just a matter of time until turnover happens. There has been too many promises broken, broken leadership communication which results in a lack of trust, some managers are now micromanaging and it comes across as they fear for their jobs. They want to IPO which is great but ousting the entire GTM leadership sales team and head of people around the same time raised eyebrows.
