I applied online. I interviewed at CrowdStrike in Feb 2021
Interview
The process took about 3 weeks from application to final rounds. I had a small talk/technical screen with the recruiter, an interview with the hiring manager, a take home assignment that took 1 week, and then final round interviews with three senior engineers from the team I was interviewing for. The take home assignment was moderately difficult and involved a systems programming challenge. The final round interviews consisted of a mix of questions regarding my assignment (how would you do "X" better, etc) and standard miscellaneous technical questions. I left the interviews feeling quite turned off by the company because of my interview with one of the engineers. They interrupted me several times while I was answering a question.

Interview
First, HR interview. Then, the technical interview. The interviewers didn't introduce themselves, just 2 people joined the meeting and started the interview. They asked some wrong questions related to technical issues like how to sort an object in Java. It was odd. Finally, I did not have the opportunity to ask them my questions.
