I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at CrowdStrike
Interview
1. First was Hiring Manager round where most of the questions were about high level system design. Discussion about architecting high scale monitoring stack. Grilled over intricacies of that.
2. Second round was about DevOps & python coding. That went really well.
Upto second round experience was really good
Then director round happened and it changed the experience. Director didn’t ask anything but formality based questions. Didn’t turn on camera, didn’t cross question on anything answer. Round concluded in 10 minutes. At the end he asked about my notice period & if i know about the compensation. I was very positive about the offer. The HR then ghosted me for a week and called me asking how my experience went as director was not responding to them about the feedback. Then two days later she again ghosted me. I came to know from other HR from crowdstrike (who wanted me to interview for another position ) that they have selected someone else and there was only one position open.
The other HR wanted me to follow same process again as it was for other team. I declined that.
The whole experience was a managerial mess

Python scripting
I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at CrowdStrike (Bucharest, Bucuresti) in Mar 2020
Interview
Received a three hours long online test with 3 problems. First 2 were relatively easy, but the third one was fairly difficult to solve within the time limit. I don't think it was reasonable to expect a solution unless you had all that time for it, or had prepared for it beforehand.
