I applied through a recruiter. The process took 5 weeks. I interviewed at Confluent in Oct 2020
Interview
Got a call from Recruiter through LinkedIn. Chose to take up the interview given the profile of the company and the technology it is driving.
Was scheduled a zoom call with the hiring manager, who after a brief intro about the company and I giving a brief intro, explained about the interview process in detail.
In total around 5-6 rounds including 2 rounds of full fledged automation rounds.
It was a very postive experience, even though the whole process took about a month. The interviews were challenging both test designing and automation rounds. Overall a great experience.
All rounds were through zoom, interviewers were from different global regions
