There were two telephonic interviews, in which they asked simple coding questions.

Then there was an on-site. There were 5 rounds of interviews:

• Round 1: Implement C++ functionalities in C.
• Round 2: Implement an AVL tree.
• Round 3: Lunch and then they gave a socket program. They asked me to add enhancements to it. The lunch round was nice. My interviewer was very friendly.
• Round 4: Merge two sorted arrays and put the result in array1. Print a binary tree, with each level on a new line.
• Round 5: With the manager. Why Splunk? What offers do you have, and which will you choose and why? How do you debug the following in a very big, complex system where printing logs etc. is not feasible: memory leaks, deadlocks, high CPU usage, etc.

The work culture was awesome. All preparations for the interview were excellent.
