Pros

* Competitive salaries. * World class product and teams. * Top level talent that's always ready to help or mentor others, but is also more than willing to learn from anyone that has something to teach, regardless of how junior or senior they might be! * Great opportunities for those just starting their careers to learn from some of the most talented people in the world. * Real focus on people as the key to success, and fairly low turnover. * Company culture strongly leads to "how can I help" or "what can I do to help you succeed". * Plenty of training opportunities (internal and external) for team members that have been in the team for a year or more. * Huge growth in the last two years. * Bonuses for most employees. * Stock options for almost all employees. * Funding for private health insurance for all Australian employees and their families.

Cons

Resourcing can be an issue because growth regularly exceeds expectations.

Pros

Great EDR product, happyish customers, great to work in if you want to learn security. Lots of marketing dollars to generate sales interest which means if you work hard you'll make commission. CEO - 5/5 - Crowdstrike the company will do really well regardless - key word being the company.

Cons

- incredibly immature workforce. - leaders are all at presidents club while the peons are struggling to make qouta. - secrecy and hidden agendas. Chinese whispers on a daily basis, the water cooler rumors are ripe in this company. - anything other than their EDR + AV product is half cooked and demonstrated through smoke and mirrors. - very unhappy employee base, most are just sticking around for the IPO.
