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.

How does the company support your career growth?

CrowdStrike thrives on developing and promoting our people. There are multiple programs in place for those interested in leadership, and employees are encouraged to have peer conversations about roles they are interested in. These resources really help people like me accelerate our career growth.

How do you make yourself accessible to the rest of the team?

With a global team, it’s crucial to be intentional in how and when we meet. I prioritize scheduling regular skip level meetings with my individual contributors and protect 1:1 manager meetings so I can be present and engaged. I always try my best to ensure the team feels well supported, no matter how busy we get

Alyssa J.

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.

Manager, Corporate Sales
