I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Confluent (New York, NY) in Jan 2021
Interview
I applied online through the careers page and received a recruiter reach out two weeks or so after submitting my application.
The interview process consisted of 2 phone screens and an onsite. The experience was very enjoyable in terms of the questions asked and the way the interviewers worked through the problem with me (it was very collaboration focused). The recruiter also communicated frequently and provided updates to the process in a timely manner. The recruiter provided good prep materials and gave a very accurate representation of what the different interviews were.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
I do not believe in sharing specific questions. The recruiter provided enough details for me to prepare for the interviews.
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.
