Business Outlook
Pros
I've been at CrowdStrike since late 2015 and love it. The priorities are as follows: 1(a) protecting our customers, 1(b) maintaining company culture. I've see this company go through rapid expansion and have seen mature into the leading cybersecurity company in the industry. If you do work from an office, the facilities are top tier. We get lunch catered weekly, fully stocked snacks, if you need software or any assets to help you do your job, the company issues it or buys it for you with out grilling you for advanced justification.
Cons
The rapid growth has had its own challenges. Some elements have grown quicker than others, which creates stresses in some respects. Executives are open to feedback on this topic and supportive in providing assistance as needed.

Thank you for your review. We are thrilled you love working at CrowdStrike as much as we do! Our rapid growth and industry success would not be possible without great employees like you. Thank you for your continued hard-work, it is greatly appreciated!
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.
