      Software Engineer Interview

      Oct 27, 2017
      Anonymous Interview Candidate
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at Confluent in Oct 2017

      Interview

      One phone Interview, followed by a take-home assignment, followed by another phone interview. I got a rejection email at this stage. The recruiters move very super slow, lack in communication, and generally seemed confused and not very eager to hire. Initially the recruiters mentioned that their process is just a take-home assignment and then an onsite round, but then came back to me with requests for more phone interviews. I was told that there will be multiple remote interviews, but then only 1 was scheduled. Overall they are not very effective in communicating what exactly they're looking for, resulting in wasted time on both sides. Be careful about investing your precious time interviewing here (esp doing any take-home assignments), or multiple rounds of phone interviews before the onsite round, as the turnaround times are very very slow. I did not feel that I learnt a lot about the company, the challenges it is facing, its product strategy, culture etc by interviewing here, in spite of investing so much time in the process. To be fair, the interviewers (engineers) themselves seemed friendly, humble and the recruiters were also very friendly (and not rude / arrogant like other places (hint: Uber ;)

      Interview questions [2]

      Question 1

      The take-home assignment was a significant chunk of work (took me about 6 hours in total). Involves implementing a multi-threaded data structure. I highly recommend revising up on Locks, Condition Variables and other language primitives to starting on this.

      Interview

      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.

      Software Engineer Interview

      Anonymous employee

      Accepted offer
      Positive experience
      Average interview

      Application

      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.
