Application Process & Interviews at CrowdStrike

I had five different stages of the interview process. Two phone screenings and three face to face interviews over Zoom. Everyone that interviewed me across these stages was great speaking to.

I had to go through one aptitude assessment in the beginning followed by 3-4 interviews with manager, mentor and recruitment.

In depth, care about what your bring to the table in terms of who you are (soft skills) rather than just techinical skills

A long hiring process.

My personal interview process included submitting a questionnaire and video application, followed by several phone calls with the recruiter, as well as three formal zoom meetings, being interviewed by different managers.

I was interviewed 3 different times by 3 interviews. The interviews were interesting because they were with different people and because different questions were asked to me.

The interview lasted approximately 30 minutes and was more of a conversation rather than a question/answer based interview.

- Where do you see yourself after your degree - why did you apply about this job - what was a difficult situation you were in, in the workplace - how do you juggle conflicting priorities.

What do you know about crowdstrike and what we do?

about yourself, interests and why you think crowdstrike would be help career development

Depends on the role and how you progress through the hiring process. For technical - includes technical assessment, video interview, group interview and Final interview (mixture of technical questions and soft skills).

"Tell us about a time where you have faced a particular challenge within the workplace and describe how you overcame this?"

A lot of questions about my previous experience in the work force, what activities I did outside of work. How I was a leader etc.

I was asked about my previous employment as well as my university studies. I was also asked about recent cyber security news and if I was familiar with them, although I feel as though this wasn't very impactful on my result.

Know the ins and outs of the Company to prepare for the interview.

Learn about crowdstrike, show ambitions and confidence. Just remember it is an intern role and that they want someone who is looking to learn and grow. Someone who can make the most out of the internship.

Prepare soft skills questions

Provide examples, on each of your questions (STAR methodology), prepare and practice

Make sure to be yourself and not just provide the answers you may think the Hiring Manager would like to hear. Personality also plays a big role in the interview process.

Be yourself and bring out the best side of your personality. Even if you may not have very specific skill listed for the job, the recruiters are looking to see if your personality will match and work well with their team, because that is very important.

I would recommend researching some recent cybersecurity news and issues that have been relevant in recent times
