Pros

The threat hunting technology was excellent. The marketing budget is huge.

Cons

There is a huge clique, many of the original staff have been replaced by the incoming senior management with their buddies who have a terrible attitude. They try and wangle out of paying commission and will enforce deductions as deals need to compensate the friends of management.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback with us. CrowdStrike strongly encourages referrals within the company, however, we maintain a rigorous hiring process and I can assure you that hiring decisions are never based on a candidate’s status as a “friend of management.” “Our talent team does their due diligence with each hire to ensure the best possible candidate is placed into each open position. We are sorry your experience with us was not as positive as you had hoped but we wish you the best of luck in your future endeavors.

Pros

Remote work culture Is excellent, innovative tech, company's growth and opportunities to protect clients. Felt fortunate to have worked for this organization that has a strong growth tragectoruy and protects clients.

Cons

Manager/Director level: Poor communication from team manager/director, with little to no direction and the lack of team morale. Team members were on their own after training and most meetings could've been an email. The presence of the director was the equivalent of a virtual bulletin board. No ownership was taken from management to lead or guide the team and no sense of loyalty exists between management and team members. Good talent was squandered due to complacency and lack of direction. Company: Con for the company is the unfortunate lay offs that happened after leaving the company. It's a shame they laid off veterans from my former team. The writing on the wall was apparent, from outsourced new hires to the non-competitive compensation for newer hires. The company went from a fun and competitive start up to a disconnected company trying to emulate tech industry trends and "balances the budget" AKA lay offs, to look good to share holders. For a company that nets huge profits year after year, layoffs shouldn't be part of the reality.
