The process is too long and the HR people are not transparent enough. Don't get me wrong, people are nice, but unfortunately it is too slow hence very stressful. Applied end of July and got approached for the 1st round of interviews only in October. Got 3 phone interviews then nothing happened. I got a job offer but Splunk was my 1st choice. Tried to ask them if I was still considered and what was the remaining steps of the process so at least I can try to take a decision with a bit more information but no one updated me. I accepted the other offer and beginning of November I was told that I was selected for the final interview, on site. Then it took another 7 weeks to tell me I was the final candidate, and another 7 weeks to go through contract signature, background checks and and visa process. Yes it ended up well for me but the process is so stressful, and I can imagine how it feels if in the end, the answer is no. We are human beings, not data :) PS: once you are in, the company is really great. I couldn't be happier to be honest and this is the best company I've worked for, but got to be honest about the recruitment process.
