Pros

Remote work, somewhat flexible hours, and helpful coworkers. (Partially)

Cons

Management at CrowdStrike is extremely poor. What’s labeled as “empathy” is really just control and micromanagement. Most of the managers display narcissistic tendencies and project their insecurities onto their teams. TSEs are treated with little genuine respect or appreciation. There are a few decent managers, but they’re the exception. Overall, the culture feels rigid, outdated, and emotionally draining. More focused on power dynamics than people. 1/7 for CSAT score all around. Compensation is below industry standards, and the workload expectations are unsustainable.

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.
