I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Splunk in Feb 2021
Interview
I have nothing but respect for each and every person who interviewed me. They have a high bar for hiring. Period.
Every person who interviews you knows their stuff. But at the very same time, they are compassionate, empathetic, and kind when you are stuck. After my first video interview, i knew i was too junior for the role, but the person pushed me to interview for the next round, on the second video screen, I def knew I wasn't going forward but somehow received an onsite. Beginner’s luck?
First-round was okay but felt I ranted too much.
In the second, I lost confidence after not able to see the obvious things that were right in front of me. I was mentally beaten after that round but the interviewers still boosted my morale and I felt pathetic for wasting their time. I wanted to email the recruiter and tell them I don't want to waste anyone's time and someone much knowledgeable deserves the role.
The third one was okay. I did my best as per my level of understanding.
The fourth and final one I knew I was going to bomb this but I kept trying and thinking out loud and the interviewers kept helping and pushing me.
I feel like I wasted 6 hours of the time of seniors, managers, and directors but at the same time feel humbled that a company like this even provides the odds for fairly fresh talent in the industry to interview with them knowing you have little experience on your resume.
Genuinely good human beings who want you to succeed in your career.
At the end of it, you will know where you lack and you can work on it.

I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Splunk
Interview
Job position name changed twice between my 2 interviews. I talk to HR in UK and SRE guy in US. Can't complain about these 2 interviews. Was nice to talk to them and can't say bad word.
3rd interview suppose to be with hiring manager but he didn't call me back at scheduled time. After 2 weeks guys from UK HR got info that manager decided to pick someone who know Splunk as a product. So mainly waste of my time and lack of organization in Splunk US. I wouldn't apply for this role if knowledge of Splunk was required.
