- Talent dropping like fly’s and more to follow soon.
- Favouritism when it comes to promotion (The more children you have the likelier you inherit a leavers pipeline despite not being close to target)
- No action taken after 15 or more negative Exit interviews all regarding a common theme - no need to mention the common theme but I’d recommend getting in contact with any ex CrowdStrike corporate heads and they’ll provide further detail.
- SMB team leadership have no closing experience. Promoted from within to maintain control of corporate function. If you’re a manager who is not a ‘yes man’ to the VP, you’ll either get fired or leave on you’re own accord to somewhere where you’ll have more trust , autonomy and likely double the pay too.
- Company will under pay you and try and tell you that this is because the product is so sellable. Recently 5 high performing sales reps have resigned and CrowdStrike decided not to re- fill their heads - a clear sign that they over employed to begin with and no one had a strong chance of reaching target.
- Not a single SMB rep has hit their annual target before . Avoid position like the plague as you’ll get publicly embarrassed on team calls by senior leadership and spoken to like you belong in a bin.
- Strange/‘try hard’ effort being made by current leadership to treat employees with more respect following recent departures. This will be temporary and then go back to normal as always.
- Reps have been instructed to phone partners 23 times in one day - non humane selling behaviour.
- I’ve ruined relationships with senior IT leaders because of pressure tactics forced on me from above.
- IPO has saled at CrowdStrike and that accompanied with below industry pay and a unsavoury culture means you should look elsewhere. The internal politics are not worth joining this place.
