The screening interview was scheduled for 30 minutes and 20 of those minutes were spent listening to the HR screener read a script about the company. There was little time for her questions, nor mine.

Apply in March. Hear back in April. Recruiter asks for answers to questions as what I assume is a pre-screen. Fill those out and send them in. Meet in early May with the recruiter where recruiter states that the time will be spent going over the role, and will cover any questions I had about the role. I get on the phone and literally listen to the recruiter read a script about Splunk and the TSAM role for 30 minutes. Not a pause in the middle to ask if I had any questions. Nada. By the time the recruiter came up for air, I had to go because I did already have a job and took my lunch to waste it on this awful step in an interview process that I thought ended there. Fast forward 6 months later when I laughed at the fact that I received a rejection letter, when all they had from me was my resume and a handful of answers that I sent over. The recruiter could really not have discerned anything from our meeting because she was the only one talking. But all is good, I consider it a bullet dodged. Especially reading the latest news on the executive comings and goings.
