Application
I applied to Crowd Strike in the middle of May 2022 and got an automatic email assessment at the start of June. (Cloud Engineer Intern)
Online Assessment
It consisted of 3 problemss, all of them DS&A, very similar to LeetCode questions. Total time given was 120 minutes. The platform they used was HackerRank.
First: Question related to strings and maps, MED (LeetCode scale) difficulty. I managed to solve this in 25 minutes, passing all the testcases. The question was almost identical to:
https://leetcode.com/problems/minimum-number-of-steps-to-make-two-strings-anagram/
Second: Question related to Trees, MED difficulty. I managed to solve the question in 30 minutes, passing all test cases. I also found the question, is Q1 on this LC discuss.

Third: Question related to arrays and dynamic programming. HARD question, managed to find a solution that passed 8/15 test casses, TLE on the rest (I couldn’t find a solution with DP). I did not manage to find anything similar anywhere.
Result
A week later, the recruiter that sent me the assessment, sent me an email saying that I qualified for the technical interview (90 min). The email specified that I need to confirm and schedule an email via a link, but the link led to 404. I emailed the recruiter but never heard back. The position is also no longer existing on their workday.
