Splunk had 5 interviews (recruiter, two hiring managers, call with current team, and regional sales director.) The interviews mainly stuck to scripted generic questions. Splunk updated me frequently on the status of the process.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Tell me about yourself.
What does sales mean to you?
Past Sales experience?
The first round was a HR telephone screening that included some basic questions about the role, fit, and salary expectations. The second round was with the hiring manager, where I was asked about my experience and some scenario-based questions. The third round was a role play, which was a complete disaster and reflected a lack of interest on their part.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
About myself and my last roles and why I left. My strength, weakness and scenario based qurstions
15-minute scheduled screen with recruiter, recruiter called me 20 minutes late…then asked why Splunk and why sales. I don’t know what they gained, but I received a no-reply rejection email a week later and zero context. Very unprofessional, and I’d expect more. I have interviews with their competitors this week, so their loss I guess.
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Splunk (Sydney) in Apr 2025
Interview
It was a smooth process, got through the first screening process and had an online interview with the Business Development Manager. It was great experience speaking to her but I didn’t get through the next stage as they found someone with more experience.
