I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Confluent (Dallas, TX) in May 2023
Interview
I applied for a New Grad role. Completed 2 technical rounds, 1 hiring manager round. I felt like they went really well, but after the hiring manager round there was a hiring recruiter wrap up where she asked me if I'm eligible to work without visa sponsorship in the US. I knew Confluent sponsors H1B, so I said I would need one. After that she mumbled an incoherent excuse and cut the call. I got the rejection 2 days later. I'm okay with being rejected over that, it's just that if you don't want to sponsor a candidate then look at their visa status BEFORE putting them through interviews. Stop wasting everyone's time.

Question 1
1. Create a data structure that can perform CRUD operations on data coming in a time period.
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.

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.
