Pros

- Working for the best epp security company in the world - Brand recognition, name on your resume - Great co-workers and leaders Overall, the experience with CrowdStrike's people has been great; the product is the best at what it does.

Cons

- Below industry average pay (especially for internal promos) - Bloated Corp & SMB org on the new business side - Poor product market fit for smaller companies Crowdstrike's sales team in Corp/SMB is 20%-30% bigger than it should be. Reps in the Corp org are supposed to have 300 accounts, with defunct accounts removed (leadership refuses to clean up our CRM) you might have 80. Lots of desperate sellers, only about 1/4 of which are anywhere near their number. I'd honestly expect layoffs to come in the next 6 months for non-senior teams because this is unsustainable. I've seen missed pipeline and revenue goals for the past few months, and almost everyone I know is looking for a new job or is considering it. Not a great time to join this otherwise great company.

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.
