Took 2 months. One 30 minute recruiter phone screen, then three separate 1 hour Zoom interviews with managers only; two managers in the first interview, then one manager in the second and third interview. I couldn't help but notice how exhausted the managers came across in those Zoom meetings. Something didn't seem right. Also, none of their direct reports participated in the interviews, which to me was a very big red flag (are they micromanagers who don't trust their people?...were they trying to make sure nobody would say anything about their attrition and reorg problems, which are evident in their Glassdoor reviews?). Each of the three manager interviews had a week in between, which stretched things out considerably. The manager for the third interview even cancelled and pushed out. I endured the process anyway, then a week after the third interview, saw my application update from 'In Process' to 'Closed' status, with no follow up from Splunk recruiting. I reached out to them, and was informed that I was one of two final candidates and didn't get the job. That's fine, at least have the courtesy to inform candidates who spent a lot of time and energy doing Splunk a favor by applying and interviewing. What they did was make an offer to the other candidate and kept me on hold, in case they didn't accept and/or pass the background check. Early on in the recruiter screen, they said there's only 2 interviews; the 1 recruiter screen and 1 technical interview, resulting in a decision either way. Clearly, that wasn't true; it took 4 interviews and 2 months total, concluding with me getting ghosted. As for salary range, when asked, I gave the high end posted in the Splunk job requisition, since I make more than that currently. The recruiter said oh, that's just the high end, that would require additional approval. Then why post that as a standard salary number in the job requisition? Very misleading. Splunk recruiting is highly deceptive and unprofessional.
