The process took 2+ months. I interviewed at Splunk (New York, NY)
Interview
Applied with a referral. Had a call with the hiring manager set up. Two weeks after the call, got an invite for an onsite. Interviewed with 6 people at the onsite. After that, the recruiter promised to get back to me within a week. Didn't hear back for two weeks. When I checked in, the recruiter mentioned that she had forgotten to update me. The team liked me but wanted me to interview for another role instead. Interviewed with another hiring manager and 6 other people. Didn't hear back for another two weeks. The recruiter then mentioned that the team is not sure if they need an external candidate and might just move the role to a European office. After 2 months and interviews with 13 people at Splunk, I didn't get even a courtesy email letting me know my status. Very disappointing recruiting process.
Asked some system design questions, in which you have to think on your feet. It is technical, so make sure to think about how technology work and its implication on AI.

Interview
It was one of the weirdest interviews I had and was a time waste for both parties. HR reached out to me to schedule a call with the hiring manager. Apparently hiring manager was on PTO. I was scheduled to talk with one of the hiring manager's reports. He told me that he was going to take notes and show it to the hiring manager once she was back. I have not heard back for about a month after the first round. I had to email HR to ask the status couple of times. Only to receive a system email saying I was not selected. I bet after that much of a time gap and waiting they had already forgotten who the applicants were and the details let alone I never spoke to the actual person who was gonna hire.

Interview
The interview process was pretty standard and overall ok. I personally think it's best to have a product sense/execution style interview rather than behavioral ones.
I GOT GHOSTED BY THE RECRUITER AFTER 5 ROUNDS... which isn't cool because people spend a lot of time and effort on these so atleast a rejection email is nice.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
random behavioral ones around common product situations...
