The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Splunk (San Jose, CA)
Interview
Initial interest was shown and the first round was online coding challenge, but the interviewing person didn’t even go over my resume and just presented a problem,it was not that difficult and i solved it.
Later they didn’t even respond to say thank you for your time. It takes time and energy for a person to prepare for interview and not to get reply for weeks is kind of unprofessional.
Left me with a bad taste.
