The Intern Online Test

Alex Chen25 min readUpdated 34 real interview reports

If you're applying for a CrowdStrike internship, a HackerRank online assessment comes before any live interview, and passing it is how you get one. The accounts of this test come from intern cycles, so if you're a new grad, ask your recruiter whether your loop starts with it. Experienced hires usually skip it and go straight to live coding. If that's you, start with What CrowdStrike Tests instead. The test runs about two hours. In past cycles one part was multiple-choice questions on computer science basics, and the other was two or three coding problems, mostly easy to medium with the occasional harder one. The mix shifts. Some cycles have been all coding, and a recent intern test in India had more problems and harder ones than the three below.

The clock is a bigger problem than the difficulty. Read the input format twice, since HackerRank hands you strings and lists in its own shape. Try the smallest case you can think of before you submit. Then move on, even if the code isn't pretty, and keep enough minutes for the multiple-choice part.
