I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Confluent in Mar 2016
Interview
I have applied through Linkedin and the recruiter was very helpful to schedule the interview call. I was interviewed by someone from Engineering team who do not seem to be serious about the role he is interviewing for. I hear that he was driving during the interview call. He hasnt asked me any deep techical questions or neither was productive. The interview experience was bad as I was rejected for no adequate reason. I like the product from the company but the people seem to be less serious of what ever they do. I hate the way they interview without serious questions to access candidates.

Question 1
What do you like about your current job? Why did you apply for Confluent?
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.

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.
