CrowdStrike UI Engineer interview questions

I applied at CS via an employee referral. The full timeline from when I submitted my application to when I signed my offer letter was 2 months. However, there were some unique circumstances that caused it to take longer than usual, so I'd expect it's much faster for most. All steps were done remotely over Zoom. The process: 1. Interview with manager- the usual "getting to know you and the role" back-and-forth, but wasn't just an informational interview as I was also asked some technical knowledge questions 2. Interview with 2 engineers- more in-depth discussion on the role, department, company, and values, as well as my experience and workflow. Very thought-provoking questions 3. Take-home code challenge- this was the only technical interview/code challenge I did out of dozens of interviews that was both relevant to the actual job and not just designed to weed people out. I was very impressed by it and actually enjoyed it 4. Code review with 2 engineers- Review of my take-home, discussed further development. Pretty casual and comfortable, talked through a bit of pseudo code but no whiteboarding 5. Final interview with hiring manager- informational interview, mostly getting to know the specifics of the team, what I'd be working on, training, the tech stack, etc. 6. Offers- Verbal offer, written offer, and extensive background check The recruiter I worked with throughout the whole process was extremely helpful and communicative. It was a fantastic interview experience, and I couldn't have been more thrilled to accept the job offer!

Company kept rescheduling, finally got an interview with hiring manager, then interview with a couple of engineers, and then was given a project to complete within 4hours. Completed what I could in the allotted time and was then given a standard copy/paste rejection email from someone I’ve never even communicated with, with absolutely no feedback whatsoever. Took a month of my time and for someone with no income, that was an eternity. I don’t recommend this company based of this horrible recruiting process; the worse I’ve seen in years.
