Great Egg team, collaboration but ver poor middle management

Anonymous employee

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Competitive Pay Good RSUs Fully Remote work Engineering team is very good. Amazing collaboration and wants to do the right things. Successful product

Cons

- Micro management at people manager level at product team level (Its my way or the High way) - Throws lot of jargons around - Trust, empowerment etc, but wants to control the ICs by micro management - Lack of innovation on Product team - Product team leadership - talks to only their peers and their reportees. Very Hierarchical. - Layoffs are being disguised as firings (of people with no history of poor performance). Its planned well in advance with lot of documentation to establish that you have poor judgement and lack skill.

CrowdStrike Response

Thank you for your review. We're glad you enjoyed our benefits and your time on our engineering team. We are disheartened, however, to hear your comments on micromanagement and hierarchy. Please know we're doing our best to ensure all of our departments are properly supported and all managers have the training they need to help us continue to build and maintain a healthy work environment. We appreciate your feedback and will pass these comments along to the team. Best of luck in your new endeavors.

Toxic management and poor diversity overshadow remote perks

Anonymous employee

Pros

Remote (but sounds like that's ending soon) Experience is dependent on your team and manager still the best cybersecurity vendor available for enterprise solutions

Cons

- Obsessed with hitting KPIs no matter what - Sr eng management will berate you in front of everyone on team calls - travel has been minimal last couple of years; I spent two years with my team and never met them - CEO is too busy with race cars - european salaries are peanuts compared to American - you can live in some random tiny town in Idaho and make more money than if you lived in an expensive European capital - 2 years and I can't recall ever speaking to a woman or black person. diversity is very skewed.
