An Insider's view of CrowdStrike

How does your team reward individual success?

One way we reward sales reps is with opportunities to grow their skills and prep for their next role. Whether that’s extra shadowing sessions or running calls, we encourage our high performers to explore new avenues that align with their future goals.

What kinds of technical challenges do you and your team face?

Working with a high volume of new customers offers a lot of opportunities to appreciate the diversity of the technical ecosystem. We work with one-person teams to full C-suites and everything in between. As a team, our greatest challenge and our greatest strength is variety.

With a global team, it’s crucial to be intentional in how and when we meet.

What does career growth look like on your team?

Every year, I have a goal to promote at least 1-2 people on my team. When I sit down with an individual on my team, we lay out what their personal and professional goals are for the year and beyond and outline the major steps we can take to help them reach those goals. It’s very satisfying to watch your teammates grow personally and professionally.
