Pros
  1. In all my time working I have never been at a place where there is such consistent, emphatic, exuberantly positive reviews from customers. Startups always talk about Product Market Fit, and it seems like Abnormal has solidly found it; our POV conversion rates are insane, and customers are stepping up left and right to engage with us and/or give positive referrals - I've never seen anything quite like it.

  2. The culture of the company is amazing. Abnormal combines the best of both an intense, locked-in and driven culture with one of support and empathy. People run hard and are responsible for the work that they do, but there is never any expectation to work extra on the weekends or past working hours.

  3. There are some incredibly capable and experienced people on the team, disproportionate to the stage that the company is in, which is Series B as of this writing.

  4. Other more generic points about hypergrowth startups also apply: growing with the company, outsized opportunity to own and ship certain products, and potential financial upsides.

Cons
  1. The startup life is not for everyone, and you should be aware of what you're signing up for. Being at a startup often entails more ambiguity, longer hours, sometimes putting business critical projects ahead of personal interests, moving with velocity vs always going with the perfect world solution, and that's not for everyone. If you are clear about what you're signing up for and are looking to run though, I can't think of a better place.
Advice to Management

As we look to grow exponentially this year, we should make sure to continue setting the hiring bar high to continue building out an A+ team.
