Pros

Cash rich company. Can offer good package if negotiated well.

Cons

The senior management is completely incapable for leading an engineering team The culture is suffocating. The top lead of India office is a puppet to the leadership and completely lacks judgement. They simple follow orders and no one challenges or even tries to get to the bottom of the issue or defends their employees. During my tenure I have seen 4 unethical layoffs. Master slave relationship between managers and engineers No work life balance and the senior management supports this behavior. Worst part: CrowdStrike's product is to stop breaches. However the company itself is paranoid that they do not encourage engineering team for any R&D to experiment. You can only visit the authorized sites on the internet. They are afraid that they themselves cannot defend against breaches. What kind of product are they making when the company itself does not have confidence on their product? I have seen engineers being laid off on weak grounds and the company will force the employee to resign. No job security. Better to look for job in other companies rather than working here. I wish I could have negative stars.

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.
