Interview
Applied through a referral and met with HR for a phone screen. A few days later, I was scheduled for a Zoom meeting with one of the team members. Several days later, I was asked to meet with one of the directors and another team member. The final meeting was with one of the department co-leaders.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Tell me about a time when you made an unpopular decision and how did you handle it.
I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Splunk (San Jose, CA) in Jan 2025
Interview
Obvious ageism. Interview with the recruiter. One interview with a team member. Although extremely qualified for the role, the one person that interviewed me had an obvious bias due to my age. No communication through the process. Received a form rejection letter, couldn't even be bothered to call.
There were four rounds of interviews. Spoke with a recruiter, hiring manager, engineering manager, and product manager. Interviews were easy. Just make sure you know what the job is entailed and how your background fits the job description.
If the interview process is any indication of how it is to work here then RUN. At first, the recruiter was responsive but then he literally ghosted me and seemed to not know what was going on. He tried to schedule me with the same manager 2 times and didn't realize that I already had an interview that he set up. He constantly made promises to give me a call unprovoked I might add and never called when he said he would. I was expecting the end-to-end timeline from start to finish to be about 2 weeks (which he told me) we are currently at 2 months and many ghosted emails. His communication is severely lacking and I have completely lost any interest to work at Splunk no matter how nice the interviewers are.
