NO Transparency Between Upper Management and Employees

Sales

Recommend

Business Outlook

Pros

- Most of your coworkers will become some of your greatest friends. Group lunches, happy hours, after-work yoga, and weekend get-together make for a tight knit group -Advice and honest critique is available throughout the office, even at the director level -Free 24/7 downtown parking near several great bars and restaurants

Cons

-While most members of upper management are excellent to chat with for advice over lunch or talk about the game last night, NO transparency regarding your job status is provided. Myself and at least five others were promised a transition from temp to full-time hire at the program’s start. It turns out this was simply a hiring allure. At the conclusion of the temp period, management remained vague regarding our job statuses before revealing they had no headcount to fit us. Another coworker of mine accepted a promotion to another area of the firm before the offer was pulled by the manager due to once again, “lack of headcount” -Too many repetitive tasks that are either unnecessary or can be easily expedited -Management will pick favorites and promote as such -Low pay compared to industry average.

Pros

If considering a role within this company, be warned. The majority of positive reviews on this site are from members of a particular team who are being “encouraged” to post. Once a good place, CrowdStrike has become a toxic environment with a whole host of unsavory, unethical and arrogant “leaders” who have no idea how to lead. You will scratch your head wondering how on earth people so unqualified could possibly hold the positions they do. Nepotism is rampant with positions being created for buddies, girlfriends, wives and kids. From the outside, this company may seem poised for “World Domination” *eye roll* but scratch just below the surface and you’ll find a cast of characters who have absolutely zero concern for the people working for them. Their sole focus is trying to take the place public or sell it off before their funding runs out.

Cons

You will be used and abused for average salary and benefits, no 401K match, crappy bonus plans and watered down equity…but there are free snacks, so there’s that.
