Required to demo Splunk, smooth process overall. Three interviewers, very professional. Had a nice conversation after, opportunity for questions both ways, relatively quick turnaround. Screening call beforehand, though that was mostly basic questions about background.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Demo Splunk, and show how it can be used to solve a technical problem
Lots of different interviews, felt like going through a giant checkboxing exercise having to present the same content again to lots of different people. Very long hiring process, potentially also because of the CISCO acquisition.
Four interviews scheduled and completed with a presentation. Went very well. Even to the point that the recruiter was talking salary. At the last minute was notified they had decided to move the req to another city. Complete waste of my time.
I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Splunk
