Pros

I truly believe CrowdStrike is amongst the best cybersecurity solutions on the planet.

Cons

Beautiful Ferrari on the outside held together by bubblegum and bandaids on the inside. They had a lot of very good things to say externally about how we handled the tech outage but internally people treated it like a joke, literally laughing about it. Also was used as a catalyst to get more business. If there was churn threat it was because of you the IC not the outage or platform. Managers and directors wanted all the glory and none of the blame. If something went right it was because of them and if something went wrong it was because of you.

Pros

- Working for the best epp security company in the world - Brand recognition, name on your resume - Great co-workers and leaders Overall, the experience with CrowdStrike's people has been great; the product is the best at what it does.

Cons

- Below industry average pay (especially for internal promos) - Bloated Corp & SMB org on the new business side - Poor product market fit for smaller companies Crowdstrike's sales team in Corp/SMB is 20%-30% bigger than it should be. Reps in the Corp org are supposed to have 300 accounts, with defunct accounts removed (leadership refuses to clean up our CRM) you might have 80. Lots of desperate sellers, only about 1/4 of which are anywhere near their number. I'd honestly expect layoffs to come in the next 6 months for non-senior teams because this is unsustainable. I've seen missed pipeline and revenue goals for the past few months, and almost everyone I know is looking for a new job or is considering it. Not a great time to join this otherwise great company.
