Process
The first round was supposed to be a call with the hiring manager, but I was informed they were unable to attend due to another critical meeting. Instead, I spoke to their manager.
The call ended up going very well, and I really enjoyed the thought-provoking discussion.
The second round for me was the virtual on-site, which was split into separate days.
The questions asked were interesting, and I really enjoyed the process.
The following day after the first virtual on-site round, I was informed that the hiring manager was canceling all interviews without any clarification as to why. I inquired about it but was met with an obscure response.

Splunk Work Experiences
- 4.0Great Culture, Frustrating BureaucracySoftware Engineer • Current EmployeeVancouver, British Columbia, CanadaDecember 9, 2017Pros: Great engineering culture, work environment, and people I work with. This is a great opportunity for product growth. Splunk has amazing potential for greatness.Cons: The company, especially engineering, keeps shooting itself in the foot. It can't get out of its own way. Senior executives are not team players, and there are lots of turf wars. Anyone who suggests good engineering practices gets shot down by the long-term employees.
- 3.0Decent comp, but poor leadership and visionSoftware Engineer • Current EmployeeFebruary 11, 2022Pros: Decent pay and a good amount of holidays.Cons: Poor leadership, vision is muddied. Not a culture of self-empowerment; very unwilling to address these issues. Attrition is very high; people are leaving left and right.
