Pros

The CEO owns a Formula 1 car, and many people think that's cool. I don't, but enough do, and every company, All Hands, has a 15-minute segment on this stupid Formula 1 car. There is a cultlike obsession with this car; it even has its own Slack channel.

Cons

Unethical hiring and management. They will work you to the bone until your mental state breaks. Then they will punish you for it. Be prepared to work 50-60 hours/week minimum and still get no accolades or face time with your boss. You can forget about ever being noticed by top leadership entirely. You're held to unattainable standards at all times; it left me in a deep depression requiring full-time therapy. I have workplace PTSD, which I didn't know was a thing until I worked for CrowdStrike long enough. I've been in cybersecurity for 20 years and have tons of connections. I've told everyone I can to avoid this place like the plague.

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.
