Pluspunten

- Company shifted from in Office to WFH with little to no issue and has continued to be responsible regarding Office re-openings - Many of the teams at Malwarebytes have some amazing people on them and running them, if you are lucky and end up in one of these teams you will have a great time - In the last couple quarters there have been major products improvements and that has made the future of the company seem much brighter - Malwarebytes has a great reputation in the IT world and it is definitely earned

Minpunten

- Executive leadership has failed to provide a unified vision of what the company is doing in the short and long term - Product and Engineering have had lots of turn-over in the last few years - Products have stagnated for long periods of time and fail in many ways to be competitive in the security market - Success in 3rd party testing has been difficult making it harder for Malwarebytes products to compete - Communication and collaboration between teams is often difficult, resulting in stakeholders being ignored

Pluspunten

Very supportive managers and a fun, highly collaborative team. The department fosters an environment where ideas are openly shared and opportunities for improvement are discussed constructively without toxicity. Truly the best company I’ve worked for so far.

Minpunten

The interview process was somewhat lengthy, and salary discussions were not entirely consistent.

Pluspunten

Had some great coworkers during my time at MWB/TD, manager was always very encouraging, and pay was good

Minpunten

Outdated technology stack. The platform is built on legacy foundations, and modernization efforts haven't kept pace with the market. Leadership lacks domain depth. Many senior leaders don't have deep cybersecurity or IT backgrounds, which makes it difficult for them to set a clear product vision, read where the market is heading, or chart a credible path to get there. This was supposed to be a cyber company, but outside of the MDR team, that expertise is thin at the top. Good ideas die quietly. I brought forward multiple product ideas that were blocked repeatedly with the rationale that the company is "device-centric, not user-centric." That framing felt disconnected from what the market actually demands. Priorities shift without communication. Strategic direction changed several times during my tenure, but product was rarely looped in ahead of those shifts. I'd learn about new priorities after the fact, with no context on why things changed. Attrition goes unaddressed. There were multiple rounds of quiet layoffs and a steady stream of voluntary departures. Leadership never paused to examine why people were leaving or to share any explanation with the remaining team. The expectation was simply to carry on as if nothing had happened. Bottom line: A challenging culture, unclear leadership direction, and a product that isn't showing up on shortlists where competitors are winning deals. I'd encourage prospective candidates to ask hard questions before joining.
