Pros

Was happy to join the company for its innovation and cool EDR product. Company as a whole is enjoying public money through stocks. Investors are happy seeing the money and growth.

Cons

But, quickly I learned that this is a company only for those who can survive the politics. Very rich and strong product heads and old timers unwilling to change and adapt. Some still think this as a startup which can survive the long game. Absolutely no process and completely hierarchical. If the head of the PG says something, that becomes the priority and the roadmap. People do get burned out due to extreme pressure - customer issues, outages and even some meaningless escalations. Some of those acquired companies are full of BS. Those were done just for the hype and stock market push. Remember - many of the companies which are breached cannot say in public that they were using the CRWD products because of legal contracts. Security is like insurance. People can mark you non-compliant for not having it.

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.
