Pros
I've been at CrowdStrike for a few months now and couldn't be happier. I left one "great place to work," to come work for CrowdStrike and I was hesitant because my other experience wasn't great. However, after only being here a short time I really feel valued as an employee and cared about as a person, something I never felt in my last company after nearly 3 years. The pay is great, a lot of employees get to work from home and they understand that people have families.
Cons
It can be hard getting started being remote, a little more direction from the get go maybe and the hiring process was a little slow, but so worth it!

Thank you for your review. We are thrilled to read that you love working at CrowdStrike as much as we do! We’re lucky to have such enthusiastic and positive employees like you working with us. We are planning to revamp the on-boarding process so we can bring on excellent employees even faster. Keep up your great work!
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.
