J'ai postulé via un recruteur. Le processus a pris 1 semaine. J'ai passé un entretien chez CrowdStrike en févr. 2025
Entretien
I had a really bizarre experience with Crowdstrike, which I found rather disappointing.
I was contacted by a recruiter though Linkedin as they believed they I was a good fit for a particular role. I agreed, and they referred me to yet another recruiter.
The second recruiter was open to talking, and scheduled our initial conversation a week out. When the call started, there were no introductions. It was just an immediate warning about expectations for the position. After the recruiter spent several minutes reiterating warnings and expectations, I was asked about what my current position. I was barely two sentences in before I was cutoff, and told point blank that they didn't think I was a good fit for this position and ended the call.
I would have expected that the recruiters in question would have reviewed my resume and background, and come to this conclusion well before this point, and wouldn't schedule a call unless they thought it was worth their time.

Very disorganized. Interviewers were very unprofessional, and hostile. They emailed me saying they are not moving forward with me then emailed me again the next day to schedule another call.

Entretien
Was interviewed by engineers and managers from 2 different teams. The auth team and cloud engineering team. Had a few rounds with engineers from cloud engineering team and the team was very professional with their approach. The regular workout it LC based questions and queries on handling race conditions. Had another 2 rounds with the auth team one with an engineer and another was the final round with the manager. The one with the engineer was easily the worst interview i had to sit through. The engineer was dealing with some high sev issue and clearly had their hands full and was unable to concentrate on the interview. Despite me offering to reschedule if this was not a good time they went ahead with the interview which was medium level LC question that I am sure i got right. They had no comments on the code and just wanted to get of the call. The other round was with someone at higher levels from the auth team whose primary expectation seemed to be to find someone who would stretch without any questions. Should have the titled the role "Senior Slave Engineer".
On a personal level I would recommend AVOID the auth team at all costs. For the sane folks in that team my heart goes out to you. Culture within that team seems not so great.
Everything went very smoothly during the interview. After a brief introduction, we moved directly into the coding part, which was handled in a LeetCode-style format. There wasn’t much discussion beforehand, as the focus was primarily on problem-solving and implementation, making the process clear, structured, and efficient.
