I was contacted by an engineer via email directly for the technical interview. They took lot of time to schedule one interview after many follow ups. Finally on the day asked questions about experience and one question. I solved the question in a way that was not acceptable for the interviewers because she wanted me to solve only using one pointer and I did solve using two pointers. although I had the solution she didn't seem happy and I was expecting a reject. There are many ways in which you can solve a problem, can't say only one is right. Also, she was least interested in telling about the role or the team.
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.
