I applied online and had my Round 1 technical interview set up within a week. Due to unforeseen circumstances, I had to reschedule it a couple of days before the interview. The HR was very responsive, rescheduling it within a few hours.

The interview was good; it felt more like pair programming than a Q&A session. At the end, the interviewer was kind enough to let me know to contact him if the recruiter didn't reach out within a few days.

And it happened exactly as the interviewer said. I reached out to HR and the interviewer with a follow-up after 3-4 days of radio silence. Even after two weeks of my interview, I was still waiting to hear back from Splunk.

I might have failed that round, or the recruiter has other candidates they want to go through for Round 1 before making a decision. Regardless, there should be some decency in updating a candidate on the result or letting them know of a timeline. A minimal level of professionalism is expected.

It's not just what you do, but how you do it that interviews focus on. Shouldn't that be applicable to the company as well?

I assume I have been rejected. I viewed Splunk as my dream job because of their products. However, going forward, at any state in my career, I will probably not consider them, mainly because of how they handled things.

JS coding questions - frankly, I don't remember them now, but they were of moderate difficulty and not complex.
