Abnormal AI

• Chill coworkers and most people who are actually pretty smart and decent to work with
• Unlimited AI usage
• Remote

Abnormal has to be one of the worst places that I've worked in terms of pay and engineering practices.

• Low base salary
• Worthless RSUs that are dual trigger, so even if you spend x amount of time there, your stock doesn't vest without a liquidity event, and the company hasn't had a liquidity event.
• AI slop everywhere
• Constant outages which result in "PCCMRs," which are a checklist before your service or changes can go to production, but no one actually reads them and outages happen anyways.
• Bugs and weak security. For a security product, there is a lack of good security practices and a high amount of bugs.

You don't pay well enough to retain your best engineers or attract good new ones.
