I applied through university. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Splunk
Interview
First, from campus recruiting, they emailed me and gave me a dummy dataset to visualize using ruby/javascript/html. After that, they invited me to an on-site, no phone screen. On-site was 3 back-to-back interviews, all 45 minutes long. Two were general coding questions/fit interviews and one was a front-end technical/design interview. None of the questions were too hard or too unordinary: the usual tree traversal, string manipulation and data structure questions.
The first round was conducted by karat where I was asked how I would design rest api and the second question was to implement pagination in react, did not get a callback for second round.

I applied online. I interviewed at Splunk in Jul 2022
Interview
I applied and immediately received a link to a homework assignment without talking to a recruiter. It said I had seven days to complete it. I didn't have time during my work week; it was the 4th of July weekend, so I just ignored it. Then, about three weeks later, I got an email from a recruiter asking if I was still interested. I replied yes, got a new link, and did the assignment, not once speaking to the recruiter. Expectedly I received a generic rejection with no feedback.
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Splunk (San Francisco, CA)
Interview
Interview was 2 phone rounds and a final 5 hour on-site interview. Splunk didnt waste any time and it was all in around 2 weeks organized well. But the worst part was their communication after. I was told that I have the offer from HR after which there was no communication for one week. After persistent calling, the HR said the position was put on hold. I dont understand why Splunk should waste so much of my time and their time over 2-3 weeks and give me the offer and then say no position. This is not very professional on their side on how they treat interested applicants.
