It was a great experience and smooth, except that HR took 1 month to revert after the first round of interviews. The interview panel was super awesome. No complains what so ever.

Question 1
General security-based questions which covered malware analysis.
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.

Question 1
If a customer complains that there was a missed alert in Falcon, what would you do to investigate?
I applied online. The process took 5 months. I interviewed at CrowdStrike (San Antonio, TX) in Jan 2023
Interview
Was ghosted during the interview process towards the middle and definitely at the end. Fairly standard interview process. Started with a screen call with the recruiter about a high overview of the job. Then straight into their Skyline CTF Challenge. After that you get to interview with the senior analysts and the finally the hiring managers. I was told that I would hear something after a couple of days with the last interview. I waited over two weeks and nothing. I had to go over my way to reach back out only to find that they selected a different candidate. Frustrating enough, the job is still listed as open on their site and still listed as open. Had I not had to go out of my way, I would still be waiting. Seems like just ghosting is the standard process. The whole process took over a month. Recruiter told me there are possible openings in the upcoming weeks, and to re-apply if wanted. Really disappointing experience for a company for the level of prestige it has. Not sure if it's even worth for someone to go through the whole process again, with the same team that just didn't hire you. Only to ponder the thoughts of "hey it's you again, why should hire you, when we didn't select you for the first time."
