Pros

CrowdStrike - Pune Review: - Decent office - Friendly junior colleagues

Cons

- Top management in Pune lacks the vision of embracing current proven tools and technologies in dev and test infra. My concerns are primarily about the dev tools, frameworks, and processes: - In this era, HOW you develope software is crucial. Using the right set of tools, processes, and integrations is the key to software quality, agility, and scalability. - In-house dev, build, and test infra are of the Jurassic era. The world has moved to CI/CD, Cloud-native app design, using containers in dev, build and test infra. It's high time that we get the dev processes and tools right. - At the current scale, devs are getting unnecessarily dragged due to age-old tools.

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.
