Splunk Hiring Event

Technical CodePair Session

Onsite (which they kept rescheduling and finally said the Hiring Manager needed to check technical skills, so please take an online assessment)

Online Assessment (which was set up to fail you)

Recruiter InMail for Splunk Hiring Drive:

Technical screening round request.

They asked for an onsite interview. I gave my availability. After a couple of follow-ups, on Friday evening, they decided to confirm me for Monday morning. I had already made commitments at my work since I had not heard back from them until Friday noon. I told them since this was last-minute, I couldn't make it and asked if they could pick another date. They did, and before the onsite interview (2 days prior), they sent an email stating they couldn't do it because they had a conference coming up in the next two weeks.

I was shocked because the conference doesn't start for two weeks, and each interview was going to take 45 minutes. How did that affect the schedule?

However, I gave another availability, and another reschedule happened.

I was working on a critical task until 4 in the morning, so I sent them an email saying, "Can we do it on Monday instead of Friday since I'm caught up in a critical situation which was unavoidable?"

To that, they responded, "We want to check your technical skills before we call you for the final round. The evaluation will take 105 minutes."

The tool said you couldn't debug there, so feel free to use any IDE you wish, and later you could paste the code there.

I implemented the same logic in codepen.io, and when I put the same code, it did not run.

I immediately sent an email to the recruiter and mentioned it was working as expected, asking them to "Please ask the reviewer to check my links."

"Please provide feedback whatever you have."

Next day, an auto-generated email said, "We have moved on to another candidate."

Are you serious?

The recruiting team is not concerned with anyone's timeline and they do not care to respond to questions.

Worst experience.

They are expanding like anything, but that doesn't mean you don't have the right attitude.
