Pros

I started at CrowdStrike as an entry level sales development rep. I worked in PR/communications for three years but moved to Austin with the goal of wanting to break into tech sales. Coming from communications I had very little tech experience and found myself incredibly excited to learn about cybersecurity, but also nervous about jumping in to such a complicated field. Everyone in the Austin office welcomed me with open arms and was more than happy to answer any questions I had when I was learning about the field, there is also a whole learning tool dedicated to education on the platform which is still very useful. Even though I am now a manager, as an SDR I always felt comfortable approaching Directors and VPs which isn't something I found at any of my previous companies. CrowdStrike is definitely a place that recognizes and appreciates hard work, if you are willing to go the extra mile and think outside the box it does not go unnoticed. As a women in tech I feel supported by upper management and supported by the other awesome women in the office. It's been a massive change from my previous jobs in that I come to the office and actually enjoy the people I am working around.

Cons

Miscommunication between offices and sometimes between teams

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.
