I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Confluent in Sept 2019
Interview
The interview process consists in three interviews. The first interview is with your future manager. The second interview is a technical interview to check your technical experience (Linux, Kafka, etc). In the third interview you need to prepare a 15 min presentation and present it in front of four members of your future team.
I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Confluent in Feb 2019
Interview
I had a technical interview, a videocall with the hiring manager and a call with the recruitment team. Then I had a panel videconference, and another calls with recruiting to finish the hiring process.
Positive experience overall, meetings were clearly defined and they were flexible about the dates.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
I delivered a 20 minutes training (I could choose the subject) to a panel, during a videconference.
I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Confluent in July 2015
Interview
Spoke on the phone with the hiring manager and he said that he would call me back in one week with a yes/no answer. Never heard back. Other members of the recruiting team seemed a bit slow on their responses when I asked for interview process status, etc. Seems like the company has an interesting product though.
