The interview process starts with a recruiter call, then four rounds total. After the hiring manager's call, there was a take-home excel assignment. The excel assignment was timed. After that, the rest are the remaining 3 interviews

Anonymous Employee
I interviewed at Splunk
The interview process was quick and to the point- I met with the director and then the manager. Both asked me about my experience and explained the role expectations and current workings of the team. I felt extremely empowered leaving this interview process- where as other companies sometimes leave you guessing on where you stand and take weeks on end to communicate decisions, I knew exactly where I stood and received an offer shortly after.
- Asked about my analytical background

Anonymous Employee
I interviewed at Splunk
I had to go through long interview process but ended up getting the role. This process now has been stream lined and is a lot quicker. I believe unnecessarily long interview process won't cut in the current environment with shortage of talents in the labour market around the globe
- what is the renewal process

Software Engineer - Early In Career I applied through referral in March. The recruiter got back to me for a phone screen mid April, I moved on to the final round which consisted of 2 technical screening and 1 behavioural with the hiring manager. These interviews all happened within 3 weeks. The technical questions are standard Leetcode Medium questions, I cannot share due to NDA. Overall, the interviews were good and my interviewers went in depth. Asked about my projects and we did coding exercises using codility.

Anonymous Interview Candidate in San Francisco, CA
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Splunk (San Francisco, CA) in May 2022
typical software engineering rouund, email sync with recruiter, then a series of 5-6 code/design hour long interview, all the interviewers were quite nice except the last one. last interview was with director, who was totally rude, and unprofessional, generally people of that category falls into 0.01% in the IT sector. It was even difficult to talk to him, forget about working with him. He claimed to be owing 4-5 teams, had shallow attitude and disrespectful ( last and the least, it was the worst interview experience, i left interview midway ). It is difficult to fathom how one person behaviour could overshadow the genuiness of 6 great interviewers and a great company.
- algos, coding, data structure, system design, process/thread, cloud

All the recruiters and technical interviewers are very friendly. I have talked to 6 technical interviewers, and feel they all great tea m members. Overall experience is very positive, except the 3 week gap (seems to be long) between the first interview and panel interview.

Anonymous Interview Candidate
The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Splunk
Process took about 3-4 weeks. Recruiter reached out through email, screen call, zoom interview with senior/would be supervisor. Moved on to a series 5 interviews total. 2 were rescheduled. Hiring manager said it’d be longer than a week because they were interviewing still… fair. Recruiter emails me saying they’ll have an answer in the following week. To this day nothing. Ghosted by recruiters and hiring manager.
