I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Cvent (Gurgaon, Haryana) in Oct 2024
Interview
Round 1: Technical interview (easy DSA).
Round 2: Technical interview, system design.
Round 3: HM - system design, non-tech q/a.
Unfortunately, my overall experience with the process was disappointing. The recruiter reached out and encouraged me to apply, and after discussing my background and experience, I proceeded with the interview process under the impression that my profile aligned with their requirements. However, during the final HM round, it became evident that the role required expertise in a very specific technology, which was not mentioned earlier. This misalignment was particularly frustrating as I was required to attend an offsite round, leading to a significant amount of wasted time and effort.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Easy level DSA & general system design (e-comm. app)
I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Cvent (Gurgaon, Haryana) in Jan 2026
Interview
Interviewer was intentionally rude and passing snarky comments. What just could have a screening round was made into an ego battle.
Combination or Online and offline rounds, First on zoom call then rest offline. Started with introduction and then questions. Overall negative experience.
I applied in-person. I interviewed at Cvent (Bengaluru) in Nov 2025

Cvent Interview Experience – Bangalore (Honest Feedback)
Cvent Gurgaon is generally known as a good place to work, but my interview experience at the Bangalore office was quite disappointing.
The interview process had three rounds:
Round 1 – Online Interview
This round was fine. They asked:
• Basic Ruby on Rails coding (anagram check)
• One simple SQL question (employee–department type)
Nothing unusual here.
Round 2 – Onsite Interview (Forced Visit own expense )
They insisted that I come to the Bangalore office for the next round, which was conducted by an architect.
He asked:
• One very basic coding question
• Then asked me to explain the architecture of one of my previous architecture of my work
The problem was not the question, but the way it was evaluated.
Instead of asking:
• How the system scales
• Traffic handling
• Data flow
• Trade-offs and decisions
He kept judging my previous company’s architecture, continuously making notes, without exploring my thinking, decisions, or problem-solving approach.
This felt unfair. An interview should evaluate:
• How a candidate thinks
• How they design systems
• How they approach scalability and constraints
If the expectation was a system design round, they should have given a fresh architecture problem, not judged someone based on the constraints and decisions of a different organization.
Final Thought
If you live far from Bangalore, I would not recommend traveling to the Bangalore office for interviews, as the onsite experience did not justify the

Avoid them, they waste candidate time by lowballing them. Total 3 technical rounds.
1. A platform link is shared, solve 3-4 question there.
2. F2F round. They literally ask everything. JS, react, testing, ci/cd, architecture, DSA.
3. Tech + managerial F2F - resume, system design.
After all this wasted time by giving lowballed offer. Also they ghost lot of folks if they aren't going ahead with them.
