- Crowdstrike Account Executive interview with sales management meetingsCrowdstrike · Account Executive · HR Screen · Apr 2026Rejected
I started with a quick recruiter call and moved through the next steps quickly. The process felt straightforward, with short, focused conversations instead of anything especially technical. I was asked behavioral questions and general cybersecurity questions, with the discussion returning to my motivation, what I wanted from the role, and how my experience matched the business’s needs. One import…
- Crowdstrike Account Executive panel postponed without a rescheduleCrowdstrike · Account Executive · HR Screen · Apr 2026No response
I went into the process expecting a typical sales interview cadence. After a screening and a second interview that felt straightforward, I moved to a panel with less than a day to prepare for a long session. Several delays kept pushing back my plans. During the panel presentation, there was also an unexpected language-related change request, which threw me off in the middle of the presentation. T…
- Crowdstrike Account Executive: fast-tracked interviews and a final panelCrowdstrike · Account Executive · HR Screen · Mar 2026
My process started with a straightforward recruiter conversation, followed by a small number of follow-ups rather than a long gauntlet. I had been in contact with the hiring side early on, and after a conversation they sent me an application link and connected me with the recruiting team. The conversations stayed professional and focused heavily on my cybersecurity sales background and how it fit…
- Crowdstrike Software Engineer interview with seven difficult coding questionsCrowdstrike · Software Engineer · Online Assessment · Mar 2026
After applying, I went through an earlier pipeline that included college-placement-style steps and then an online assessment. The multiple-choice section was manageable for me, but the assessment overall felt harder than I expected, especially since the role was for an internship. The biggest problem was the mix of questions. I could solve the multiple-choice problems, but the seven coding questi…
- Crowdstrike Software Engineer interview: recruiter redirect after a 10-minute delayCrowdstrike · Software Engineer · Mar 2026
My first step with CrowdStrike was a recruiter call over Zoom. The interviewer joined almost 10 minutes late, which made the start a little awkward, but they were professional and polite once we began. We covered the usual basics about my background and work history, and the conversation stayed fairly light. What stood out was that they asked whether I might be a better fit for a similar role on…
- Crowdstrike Solutions Engineer interview: remote hiring-manager and sales interviews followed by silenceCrowdstrike · Solutions Engineer · Mar 2026No response
A recruiter contacted me, and the process became a remote interview cycle with a hiring manager and members of the sales team. I kept moving through the interviews and felt that I had passed the rounds, so I expected the next steps to come quickly. Instead, the process went silent after I finished. I emailed for an update, but I still didn’t hear back. The lack of communication felt careless and…
- Crowdstrike Software Engineer interview for Falcon Exposure ManagementCrowdstrike · Software Engineer · Other · Feb 2026
I went through CrowdStrike's process for the Falcon Exposure Management team. The overall tone was highly technical, with a strong focus on problem-solving and system design. It felt designed to test reasoning above all else. The process started with a DSAT-style step and continued with the same emphasis on problem-solving and system design. The questions didn't feel like trivia. They focused mor…
- Crowdstrike Software Engineer interview with recruiter and hiring manager callsCrowdstrike · Software Engineer · Feb 2026No response
I had two recruiter-adjacent calls: first with a recruiter, then with a hiring manager. The hiring manager asked about my previous experience and projects, with some focus on call and metrics topics. The conversation seemed aimed at matching my background to what the team cared about. After the hiring manager call, everything stalled. I was ghosted and never heard back from the recruiter, which m…
- Take-home Event System Design, Code Review and a Redis-style CacheCrowdstrike · Software Engineer · Senior+ · Onsite · Jan 2026Offer
I wanted a job with a more flexible schedule so I could be home more with my family and my young daughter. I prepped for just one month, using an online system design course, and came out with an offer from CrowdStrike. On paper it was a sideways move, Sr. SDE where I am now to Sr. SDE there, but the offer came in about 15% above my current pay. Most of my prep time went into the system design co…
- A String-Templating Coding Round, Then a RejectionCrowdstrike · Software Engineer, Cloud · Senior+ · Technical Screen · Oct 2025Rejected
Sharing a fresh rejection story. I don't have a cybersecurity background. I applied for a senior SWE, cloud role. The position requires being based in the US Eastern time zone, since it involves working with the team in Europe. First was an HR screen, with some basic questions — whether I knew Go, what the most complex project I'd worked on was, that kind of thing. At the time I thought I had no…
