Pros

- Company is great, CrowdStrike really cares about its employees - Great market dominance and brand recognition - Great company outlook - Company is very cool and they do a lot of great work with F1

Cons

- Security Advisors are treated pretty badly, we help maintain millions of dollars of accounts, yet we are told how to jump and how high like we can't be trusted. - As a Security Advisor, the leadership and management feels like a boys club that you'll never be apart of. They help themselves and inflate themselves up and don't seem to care about the growth or success of others that join the team - Moving up seems impossible, they give you metrics that are rather easy to hit but won't give you a promotion due to job titles equating to what work/clients you do/have. If there isn't need for a Sr., you just don't get the role even if you're hitting your KPI's - Very saturated in terms of how many Security Advisors there are. Not enough opportunities to stand out and when there are, they're handed to the same people in the same boys club and the same people get exposure over and over, then management tells you to try to stand out? - They promised career growth and training during interviews and offers, but have told us that they have a limited training budget and any request for training has to be reviewed, why? We're a Fortune 500, we should be able to afford to send our employees to trainings. - Very unorganized for a Fortune 500, management seems to only have their roles because they have all worked together before at other companies and move together in pacts, contributing to this elusive "club" that if you're not apart of, you won't get ahead. - Great disconnect from Security Advisors to management, we're just constantly told what we need to do to help the customer but we're just pummeled by other teams constantly and have to make up for other teams' shortfalls

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.
