Confluent interview questions

2 phone calls with the recruiter, followed by on-site interview with head of EMEA marketing (about 3 weeks later, as she was away). The recruiter explained how the process would work very well.

I was contacted by one of the HRs on LinkedIn where he told me about the company and the process for the interviews, I have had heard about about the company before and was interested in giving the interviews. There were in total 5 rounds, Coding Round, Scripting Round, Operational Round, Design Round and finally behavioural round. Every round was of 1 hour and all the rounds were taken on Zoom. The HR was very helpful on scheduling/rescheduling interviews as I was at vacation after I was done with my first interview. Overall it was a great experience, interviewers were quite knowledgeable and experienced as they went in depth as one could get. First round was coding round taken on CoderPad where I was given to parse 2 different CSVs and merge them on certain rules and filter out certain data on certain rules, calculate a certain mathematical entity and finally sort them in decreasing order and print the corresponding metadata of the processed order. Interviewer was quite helpful in giving clues and correcting mistakes. Second round was Scripting round where basic and in depth question related to Linux were asked, along with that docker in depth questions, its working and orchestration, clustering and scheduling capabilities. Third round started with a very a basic system layout and was asked to expand the system along with the new resources addition and changing user requirements. Fourth round was the design round where I was given a design question prior to 3 days of interview and had to prepare a report for it(Have to describe everything from scratch, services dependancy, data modelling, cloud architecture etc.), again the interviewer went in depth as much as one could and was quite good. Overall the company is run and managed by some really good guys and are very systematic, smart and are very professional, I think I have had best interview experience with this company.
