I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at CrowdStrike (Tokyo) in May 2024
Interview
I have had 3 interviews in total: 1st - HR, 2nd - technical, 3rd - personality and culture match.
Overall, the interviews were good, but the final interview was a bit overwhelming with questions related to personality check. I mean I spent around 30-40 minutes just speaking about what if situations related to communication with teammates, clients and etc.
My impression is a bit negative even if I got an offer. The people who interviewed me in the final interview seemed to be too proud of their company. I felt like they did not respect me enough from their reactions.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Q: What will you do if you face a client who is hard to deal with?
Q: Have you had any person in your team with whom you have had a hard time to agree? If so, how you have dealt in that situation?
Q: What kind of person you like within your team?
Q: What kind of team player you think you are?
Q: What was the tough situation in the past and how you have overcome that?
Q: What kind of experience you had in your career that made you regret?
I was asked a few more such questions, but I forgot. My mouth and mind got exhausted with such questions! Stop asking too much as it was a bit stressful interview!

Question 1
How did you find about CrowdStrike, and your specific role?
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at CrowdStrike in Mar 2025
Interview
The initial call with the recruiter went well, very positive, and they clearly outlined the role, expectations, and salary. Next was a Cyber Skyline challenge/quiz, which was easier than expected. The next stage was a technical interview with a Principal Analyst and a Senior Analyst. This is where things got a little strange - from the start, the Principal Analyst seemed outright bored and didn't care to know me at all. They monotonously launched into the questions and didn't comment on or follow up on any of my answers. I felt like I had failed before the interview even began.
The following day, I was notified that I didn't pass the interview, even though I felt I answered all the questions to satisfaction. Perhaps this is a blessing in disguise because I certainly did not want to work under that Principal Analyst. The Senior Analyst, on the other hand, was genuine and kind.
