I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Confluent (Palo Alto, CA) in Sep 2018
Interview
A recruiter reached out to me over LinkedIn and set up a coding interview over video conference. Following that I had a chat with the recruiter, and then more rounds of coding and design interviews. After receiving the offer, they flew me out to HQ for an open house and presented a lot of information about the company to potential hires.
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.
