CrowdStrike - Pune Review:

• Decent office
• Friendly junior colleagues

Top management in Pune lacks the vision for embracing current proven tools and technologies in dev and test infra.

My concerns are primarily about the dev tools, frameworks, and processes:

• In this era, how you develop software is crucial. Using the right set of tools, processes, and integrations is the key to software quality, agility, and scalability.
• In-house dev, build, and test infra are of the Jurassic era. The world has moved to CI/CD, Cloud-native app design, and using containers in dev, build, and test infra. It's high time that we get the dev processes and tools right.
• At the current scale, devs are getting unnecessarily dragged due to age-old tools.

• URGENT: Do something to improve overall dev processes and tools. This will attract more quality talent and retain the current good performers.
• Use your clout, if any, to bring more quality work from the US.
• Be receptive of constructive feedback and suggestions. A "my way or highway" style of management doesn't take the company to the bottom.
• Do not ignore this review.
