Software Engineering Interview Experience - San Francisco, California
Process
Typical phone interview followed by an onsite with two tech interviews and a meeting with a few managers.
Both the interviews and the manager meeting were friendly, professional, and well put together. The interview process itself was actually very positive.
The reason my experience was negative was because they handled the salary in a very shady way. They kept trying to stall giving me an offer to see if they could get information about my other offers first. When they finally made an offer and I asked them to match my other offer, they retracted my offer, citing that I was "overly concerned about pay."

- 2.0Old tech trying to look cool..Solutions Architect • Former EmployeeSan Francisco, California, United StatesMay 6, 2022Pros: They pay decently, and there are a lot of smart engineers.Cons: Old news: seniority is based on time there, not skill, and has a clear good-ol-boys-and-girls-club. It's not a good feeling for most new hires because you quickly realize you have to fit into the 'click' to ever make it there. No millennial or younger person will choose Splunk if they are searching for a tool like this, so they are bound to die out. Open-source stacks with Datadog, for example, are eating Splunk's justification of being a closed-garden product and business. Old money (huge banks, VCs, etc.) will never let them start to open-source. They were in the process of changing both their product as well as their form of revenue (cloud instead of local install), and the CTO up and left. This is not a good sign when the CEO is telling everyone this is going to be huge for us, etc. A couple of months after I jumped, I read that the CEO moved on too. This is not a good signal.
