I applied online. I interviewed at CrowdStrike in May 2026
Interview
Had an introductory interview with a recruiter for a Senior Security Researcher position. It was an introductory interview with a recruiter, who asked questions about my experience, etc, but it felt one-sided since there were no answers to my questions regarding the work, or the position, or anything specific really. Just the usual "advertisement" copy you might read on their website.
Afterward, in like an hour or two, the recruiter called me up to ask me about my experience, something she apparently forgot to ask on the call. Ultimately, they went with another candidate. I thanked them and asked for feedback, but got no response.
There are apparently two more interview stages, a call with the team and a test task, but I did not go through the first round.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
At the initial stage it was mostly open-ended questions about past experience, approaches to work, what you know about the company, why you want to work there, etc.
