I applied through an employee referral. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Splunk (Seattle, WA) in Jun 2012
Interview
Random. Interviewers have different levels. The managers disregard all the feedback and play politics. Week candidates got surprising offers even they did expect. Managers sometimes just tried to stuff people to the team so it looks good in their review. Then there is no opening and even good candidates can't get offer.
Horrible. Rude. They were awful. Stay away. I never would recommend to even my worst enemy on this planet. What a terrible interviewer. Beware. They already picked someone. I am glad I dodged a bullet here.
I applied online. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Splunk
Interview
The whole process took over three months and they even didn't provide the message after all stages that I am rejected. The time between rounds took form 3 to 4 weeks.
