Pros

- Working for the best epp security company in the world - Brand recognition, name on your resume - Great co-workers and leaders Overall, the experience with CrowdStrike's people has been great; the product is the best at what it does.

Cons

- Below industry average pay (especially for internal promos) - Bloated Corp & SMB org on the new business side - Poor product market fit for smaller companies Crowdstrike's sales team in Corp/SMB is 20%-30% bigger than it should be. Reps in the Corp org are supposed to have 300 accounts, with defunct accounts removed (leadership refuses to clean up our CRM) you might have 80. Lots of desperate sellers, only about 1/4 of which are anywhere near their number. I'd honestly expect layoffs to come in the next 6 months for non-senior teams because this is unsustainable. I've seen missed pipeline and revenue goals for the past few months, and almost everyone I know is looking for a new job or is considering it. Not a great time to join this otherwise great company.

Pros

Innovative technology, product is on cutting-edge, and pay and benefits are at par with tech peers.

Cons

Management couldn't have handled the recent round of layoffs any more poorly. The reason given was never communicated to staff previously: AI. We are an AI company so that rings hollow. Also, the company is still growing at over 20% per quarter, so the rationale for layoffs was bogus. The real reason was to please the market.
