I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at CrowdStrike (New York, NY) in Apr 2023
Interview
Interview process was in three rounds. First is a technical challenge. Next is a technical interview with team members. And the final round is another much deeper technical interview with a manager. The third round took me by surprise as I had gone pretty thoroughly into technical skills and felt I comported myself well in the second round. I was expecting more culture/ fit questions in the third round maybe how I would handle certain situations, but instead the manager skipped introductions and went straight into heavily grilling me on technical proficiency. This section was much harder than the previous tech interview. If you're expecting any questions about customer service, soft skills, or team fit. It doesn't seem to matter to this team, so only be prepared to go really in-depth on the meat and potatoes of exploits, malware analysis, threat intelligence, and how they are detected and handled.

I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at CrowdStrike in Mar 2025
Interview
The initial call with the recruiter went well, very positive, and they clearly outlined the role, expectations, and salary. Next was a Cyber Skyline challenge/quiz, which was easier than expected. The next stage was a technical interview with a Principal Analyst and a Senior Analyst. This is where things got a little strange - from the start, the Principal Analyst seemed outright bored and didn't care to know me at all. They monotonously launched into the questions and didn't comment on or follow up on any of my answers. I felt like I had failed before the interview even began.
The following day, I was notified that I didn't pass the interview, even though I felt I answered all the questions to satisfaction. Perhaps this is a blessing in disguise because I certainly did not want to work under that Principal Analyst. The Senior Analyst, on the other hand, was genuine and kind.
