Pros

The People and Culture peeps do a bang-up job keeping the "fun" activities interesting. The Santa Clara, CA, HQ is cool and has all the amenities you'd expect from a mid-2000s teens tech startup/disruptor/"challenger" company, including foosball, pinball machines, on-prem gym, and a much-needed bar stocked with your favorite mood adjuster on tap. The execs were smart enough to realize, eventually, that the Growth team's go-to "hack" of constantly discounting the Premium product was a bad idea in the long run. (See Cons) The execs were smart enough to realize, eventually, that filling top Marketing management positions with people who had little to no experience in marketing to the SMB space, which is Malwarebytes' growth opportunity, as it were, was a bad idea. (See Cons). There are some wicked smart, kind people still working there. The brand has a good (but declining) reputation among the nerds. Might not be a bad short-term gig for those just starting their careers. The CEO isn’t Elmo Musk.

Cons

Aging product portfolio hasn’t kept up with the competition in terms of feature sets. Revolving door in middle management. Long-term strategy is generally non-existent. Absolutely no brand moat anymore. Uninspired marketing. The execs took too long to realize that the Growth team's go-to "growth hack" of constantly discounting the Premium product was a bad idea in the long run.

Ever arrive at a party late only to find that the cool kids you wanted to hang with have already left? That’s Malwarebytes now.
