I applied through a recruiter. The process took 5 months. I interviewed at Splunk (San Jose, CA) in Dec 2017
Interview
I took several weeks to get the interview scheduled, first phone interviews then onsite. They reopened the role after telling me I was their second choice, had another call with the hiring manager and then silence for months. Very poor experience as a candidate, they do not live to the expectation.
I applied online. I interviewed at Splunk (San Jose, CA)
Interview
Had 8 round of interviews with different levels of the management chain. Reached the final stage but they didn't have the courtesy to call or email to let me know that they are going with another candidate. Left me hanging. No respect for People's time!

Interview

I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Splunk
Interview
Very unprofessional and rude internal recruiter. Interviewing a senior candidate with over 10 years of experience in digital advertising, he acted like it was an interrogation instead of a discussion. His questioning was like I was lying, which I really don’t have to lie to a recruiter, especially with over 10 years of experience at reputable companies.
In today’s day and age, for a recruiter to treat someone this way, it shows me this may be a terrible place to work. Even the best companies globally have never treated me this way.
