I applied through an employee referral. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at CrowdStrike (Austin, TX) in Jun 2022
Interview
Applied through a referral and got an interview about a week later for the Austin location. Entire process took a little over a month. Everyone was incredibly nice and intelligent throughout the process.
Fluid interview process. HR was pretty quick to respond to emails as well. Sometimes they called and emailed outside of normal business hours, but that didn't bother me.
I first spoke with HR via phone call. This was your typical HR interview where you are simply getting to know each other and where you share your interests. The second interview was a phone call with a manager and this was a little more in depth. A lot of situational questions. The last interview consisted of 2 parts. First you speak to 2-3 members of the team over zoom. For me, these felt a little less formal than the second interview. Some easy situational questions and some questions where they want to get to know you. The second part of the final interview was a presentation over zoom where you essentially pitch the CrowdStrike product to 3 members of the sales team. They give you all the info you need for this final interview. If you take the time to research the product and practice the presentation a lot, you'll be fine.

I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at CrowdStrike (Austin, TX) in Aug 2019
Interview
Phone screening and then a 2 hour interview with sales team plus quick pitch. The recruiting team was incredibly communicative and open about the process and status of the position the entire time and I was really grateful for that. The interviews felt casual and fun. The quick pitch is a bit intense and awkward since the material is pretty dense but it's manageable and the interviewers were good about making the process more comfortable.
