Pros

I firmly believe in the product. Market leader.

Cons

Company doesn’t live by its core values. Unethical behavior by managers is tolerated, so I assume this problem goes all the way up to the top. The Security organization has an unhealthy culture where verbal abuse and bullying is tolerated. CEO George Kurtz must know about this, but nothing happens to CSO Shaun Henry or his leadership team. There is no anti-bullying policy and, even if there were, HR is useless and only exists to protect the company. They will say “talk to your HR business partner” but by doing so, you out yourself and then become the target of reprisals. The “Code of Ethics and Business Conduct” is a sham. I feel sorry for anyone who actually reports a concern only to be made miserable so that they leave the company.

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.
