Pros

Unlimited PTO, snacks, nice office, nice colleagues

Kontras

Product is great for consumers/small businesses but Malwarebytes has been touting "Enterprise readiness" for the past 3+ years and it has gotten nowhere. Trying to play in the A-league when they are D-league at best. Can't attract better engineering/product candidates when both product and pay are so poor. Malwarebytes considers certain other vendors to be huge competitors but after talking to those companies, Malwarebytes isn't even on their radar. They do not care about this company because they don't consider it a threat! That should say a lot. Leadership turnover and changes are incredibly high. In addition, leadership does not know what they are doing, does not care about employees at all, and resort to micro management of irrelevant things. In sales, they prefer high volume calls/activities over less calls but higher quality ones. No wonder hitting numbers has been such a challenge. WFH is frowned upon as a whole and remote work is very inflexible. Every company has its own politics and favorites but here its amplified 100x...if you are a puppet and choose to never voice your opinions, you will be rewarded. CEO and execs refuse to listen to negative employee feedback and will only look at good reviews and say "oh we are doing great, no need for any changes!" Before signing here, do your research and network. Talk to previous employees, get some insight. Look at the turnover in sales. Research competitors and compare the product, marketing, messages, teams, etc. Think about why this company is having such a hard time breaking into enterprise and getting any sort of funding to better the product AND pay employees.

Pros

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.

Kontras

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

Pros

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

Kontras

Outdated technology stack.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.
