Pros

Malwarebytes is my favorite job. Even on my worse days, I still love it. Upper management makes it a point to get to know every single employee even on a social basis. The culture is fun. We get together once a month for social events including, sporting events, picnics, laser tag etc. In my own experience, hard work is not only recognized but is rewarded with greater responsibilities and the pay to match. I feel like I have been given fair opportunity to grow within the company. Any concerns I have had about my job has not gone unheard and management has always tried to work with me to rectify the situation. I feel very fortunate to love what I do!

Cons

In every office environment (so not really a deal breaker) there is always that one person who LOVES to micromanage and violate a persons personal space by standing over them. . There are also those who try to force their personal opinion or way of doing things on the employee. I feel that if the tasks can be done in a different and yet still effective way AND still produce the same results, the employee be allowed to think for him or herself.

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.

Cons

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

Cons

Outdated technology stack.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.
