The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Confluent (Mountain View, CA) in Oct 2022
Interview
The interview process at Confluent usually involves a coding challenge, phone screen, and an onsite loop with multiple interviews, where candidates are evaluated on their technical and strong interpersonal skills.

Question 1
Tell me about a time when you had to work with a difficult team member or stakeholder. How did you handle the situation, and what was the outcome?
I went through a SWE interview process. It was a positive experience. The problems were of medium difficulty, with some harder follow ups. I had two technical interviews and a manager round. Ultimately, I did not receive an offer, but I would reapply.
I went through three technical rounds. The interviews were interesting, but after that, they didn't respond. They didn't provide the results of the process which was not professional on their part.

I applied online. I interviewed at Confluent (Toronto, ON)
Interview
I interviewed for an entry level frontend engineer position. There were 4 rounds - a qualifying hackerrank, followed by 2 technical interviews, and then a final round with the hiring manager.
The process moves quickly, which was really refreshing (many large companies take weeks or months to invite you to an interview). In my experience, recruiting was very responsive, and they let me know ahead of time what general topics to expect for each interview, so there were no big surprises.
