Pros

- Good Tech - Passionate CEO with a vision everyone buys in to. - Great Corporate Leaders (if you’re in the states)

Cons

- 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.

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.
