I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Splunk (San Jose, CA) in Mar 2021
Interview
Very bad experience. The manager seems mean, doesn't ask any quesiton, doesn't answer any quesiton, just briefly introduce their team, then a very very simple coding question. So they don't really want to hire anybody. Totally wasting of time!

Question 1
Don't ask any behavior questions, just a very very easy coding question.
Horrible. Rude. They were awful. Stay away. I never would recommend to even my worst enemy on this planet. What a terrible interviewer. Beware. They already picked someone. I am glad I dodged a bullet here.
I applied online. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Splunk
Interview
The whole process took over three months and they even didn't provide the message after all stages that I am rejected. The time between rounds took form 3 to 4 weeks.
