Pros

The technology (Falcon Platform) is amazing.

Cons

As it says on the main page, "Get used to the pressure, you are in the big leagues working with A players. You will need to be one. If you are, then this is not a Con...its a Pro!" It sounds like the company is emphasizing the high standards and expectations that come with working in their environment. They're highlighting the importance of performing at a top level ("A players") and viewing the associated pressure as a positive aspect ("Pro") rather than a negative one ("Con"). However, after starting, you quickly realize it is a pressure cooker. I quit after 2 months of waking up every day with panic attacks. I was constantly being berated by management. From this, the environment at CrowdStrike tends to be very young. You will find everywhere 20 something MBA's that are Sr. Directors or VP's. It's becoming a place that people start their career on, then leave for other opportunities that are less pressure.

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.
