I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Splunk (Tysons Corner, VA) in Aug 2017
Interview
First on-site interview took a little over an hour. Met with the Recruiter, who would be my direct Manager, two team members of that Manager, and the Head of HR. Did a lot of the normal interview questions in discussing the role, telling them about my previous experience, expectations of the job. However a nice curve ball was pitching Splunk to them in a sales scenario!
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Nothing out of the ordinary. However do your research about the product and it's value to a company because you will probably have to pitch Splunk to one of the employees.
Very bad and disrespectful interview experience. The HR reached out to me and when I provided my availability for the interview, the HR totally ignored me despite a few follow up. An absolute time waster and one of the most terrible interview experience I have ever had so far.

Question 1
No question asked as they ghosted their candidate.
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Splunk (Colorado Springs, CO)
Interview
after my interview, the man i interviewed with Josh Pigott turned around and contacted my direct boss without my consent or knowledge. They worked together at Splunk at one point. He not only told her I interviewed but told her what was said in the interview. I know this is a fact because a coworker at my current company reached out and asked if I interviewed with Splunk. This co-worker repeated back to me things I said in the interview and said everyone knows the man I interviewed with ( I only interviewed with one ) called my boss and told her. Shockingly I wasn't selected for the role at Splunk and now my job is in jeopardy. I fully believe I was sabotaged in that conversation. I would make sure to not add anyone on Linkedin and leave your current employer, if you are still there, off your resume when applying. I don't know if he did it on behalf of Splunk or on a personal level. but it was highly unethical and unprofessional. I also wouldn't trust him as a boss. THe best part was I didn't even apply for that role, because of my experience I was recommended for that role. then was back stabbed by my interviewer and passed over for the job.
