First round interview was with recruiter and pretty straight. Made it to second round interview with the hiring manager and thought that went decently well. I never heard back from them and was ghosted. No follow up email of any kind from the company.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Splunk in Aug 2021

Very good process and I love the experience of presenting a business process diagram. The questions were very situational experienced based on the role. Great feedback at the end of each interview panel.

Overall, the role sounded incredible and exactly what I was looking for in my next career move. However, the interview process left me with nothing but red flags due to the lack of professionalism and proactive communication from the team. Though I had mostly great conversations with the team, 2 of the 7 people that interviewed me immediately told me they hadn't prepared or even looked at my resume. During my 7th and final interview, I was told it was between me and another candidate. Then, I was ghosted. I contacted the recruiter and hiring manager more than once and wasn't provided feedback or a final decision on the status of the role. As of posting, it's been two weeks since my final interview. I'm just floored that a company of this size couldn't even muster a canned "we're moving in a different direction" email response after seven interviews of my time.
ETA: I finally heard from the hiring manager and the recruiter apparently left the company. So, there was certainly some lack of process and communication going on. Nevertheless, it was nice to get some clarity on what happened and why I was never informed of the status of my final interview.
