    Pros

    Malwarebytes has great benefits. Unlimited PTO, solid pay, tons of holidays off, etc. The people are cool too and it's nice working for a company that protects vulnerable organizations from cyberattacks.

    Cons

    Crazy turnover and layoffs leave huge gaps in departments, leaving most people scrambling to put the pieces back together. Somewhat aimless product offerings, doesn't know what company it wants to be, etc.

    Great company strangled by bad management

    Oct 30, 2022 - Anonymous Employee 
    Recommend
    CEO Approval
    Business Outlook

    Pros

    Back in the day it had some of the sharpest, most creative, empathetic people in the industry. A lot of the consumer product on both mac and win was built by a very small number of people who truly cared about being the best out there. They're gone now, pushed out by senior leadership with limited technical skills and smaller vision.

    Cons

    woof, where to start? Marcin has negligible business acumen and a habit of trusting the wrong people based on social connection rather than a proven track record of achievement. Yes men were gradually brought in over the years and as the quality of the enterprise product declined, it became difficult to attract senior leaders with any sort of meaningful experience or technical skills. That vacuum in strategic leadership trickled downwards to where middle managers were forced to fend for themselves and guess at what might please the VPs in any given quarter, and what the next "strategy pivot" would be. Frequently, the next new thing would be a goal previously tried and failed years ago. If you don't get on one of the few teams where the lead is liked by the VP, good luck. Most of the female talent left already, usually for very good reason.
