Pluspunten

I enjoy my coworkers as a whole. We have fun at work, and I don't find myself feeling isolated in this new working world. That is a rare thing. I also find the pay can be very competitive if you are willing to ask for it.

Minpunten

The stock is paper money and likely to remain so. This company is so far behind the industry that acquisition and IPO are off the table. There was a time when that wasn't the case, but those days are long gone. And that's because of product and leadership both. The CEO has only ever known Malwarebytes. He doesn't have experience of the industry outside of this echo chamber, and he refuses to listen to those who do and are willing to go toe to toe with him to help create change for the better. Sadly, fewer and fewer people are here to do that even were it possible, having been laid off by the hundreds or fleeing to greener pastures at companies with futures whose light hasn't been snuffed out. Those who remain have been silenced and are just going through the motions . There were smart people here. Dedicated people. People who could have done great things. And they still could -- but not at Malwarebytes.

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Outdated technology stack.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.
