CrowdStrike reviews

The worst "Hero programmer" behavior of middle management and senior developers I have seen: - no help during on-boarding - no interest in helping or sharing information during work - constant posing as a hero to save the day on any occasion possible in front of higher Management whenever a new hire makes a mistake or has not enough information to do the work. They hire you as a feature developer, but you get mostly unit test development and bug fixing work. They won't let you promote to next level, unless you are willing to move to a test engineer role.

>Over segmented. Too many layers of teams from SMB to Enterprise, plus geographic territories, plus finance and healthcare having their own teams. ROE is a mess and quotas go up while territories get chopped down more and more >Reseller driven sales model. Can only sell direct in very specific circumstances. We are forced to sell through channel partners but CrowdStrike has underinvested in channel relationships so it’s a very one sided relationship or CrowdStrike AEs bringing deals to resellers who do nothing, add a huge margin on top of CrowdStrike’s already expensive price, and bring few deals back to us in return >Way too many internal meetings. Takes away time that would be better spent attempting to sell CrowdStrike’s products and services >A return to office will be forced despite CrowdStrike having some of its best quarters ever during the pandemic >Pay is below market rate for AEs. once you have accumulated enough stock staying at CrowdStrike doesn’t make sense from a financial perspective >Sandler training is a big waste of time and is a joke among the AEs. Investing in learning and development is great but maybe shift resources to other training programs
