Summary
“It was hard to get people to do sufficient testing sometimes,” said Preston Sego, who worked at CrowdStrike from 2019 to 2023. Sego said he was fired in February 2023 as an “insider threat” after he criticized the company’s return-to-work policy.
A former employee says CrowdStrike rushed the 2022 launch of its cloud threat hunting service. Engineers and threat hunters were given just two months for work that would normally take a year.
Sego said temporary coding meant to keep projects moving was often never improved. CrowdStrike said “coding is an iterative process, and it is commonplace in the software industry’
CrowdStrike has lost more than $21 billion in stock value. The company has been sued by Delta, which says it lost $550 million.
