> “Speed was the most important thing,” said Jeff Gardner, a senior user experience designer at CrowdStrike who said he was laid off in January 2023 after two years at the company. “Quality control was not really part of our process or our conversation.”
This type of article - built upon disgruntled former employees - is worth about as much as the apology GrubHub gift card.
Look, I think just as poorly about CrowdStrike as anyone else out there... but you can find someone to say anything, especially when they have an axe to grind and a chance at some spotlight. Not to mention this guy was a designer and wouldn't be involved in QC anyway.
> Of the 24 former employees who spoke to Semafor, 10 said they were laid off or fired and 14 said they left on their own. One was at the company as recently as this summer. Three former employees disagreed with the accounts of the others. Joey Victorino, who spent a year at the company before leaving in 2023, said CrowdStrike was “meticulous about everything it was doing.”
So basically we have nothing.
