“CrowdStrike is a wonderful place for people returning to the workforce because it provides flexibility, work-life balance, and opportunities to grow in a very encouraging and respectful environment.”
Gender Inequality in Computer Science
When students are younger there is a more equal gender balance in those that show an interest in STEM. But unfortunately, research shows that girls start to opt out of STEM curriculum as they get older. We can’t rely on interest and passion alone to keep girls and women engaged. They need the support and enthusiasm of others around them as well.
CrowdStrike’s Commitment
At CrowdStrike, we are committed to fostering a culture of belonging where everyone feels seen, heard, valued for who they are and empowered to succeed. Our approach to cultivating a diverse, equitable, and inclusive culture is rooted in listening, learning and collective action. By embracing the diversity of our people, we achieve our best work and fuel innovation – generating the best possible outcomes for our customers and the communities they serve.
Leading with Empathy and Fearlessness
I look for folks who are communicative, collaborative and excited to learn. Being an engineer at CrowdStrike often entails discussing technical solutions with engineers across the stack, giving status updates to program and product managers, and assisting customer support folks. You need to be able to speak with many types of people and work together with them to develop solutions to very complex issues.
