I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Confluent (Austin, TX) in Jan 2022
Interview
I was contacted by a recruiter through email. We set up a time to go over my experience. The recruiter scheduled a meeting with the hiring manager. Time and date were set.
On the interview appointment, no one showed up. The hiring manager sent an email a week later stating she was out of the office and forgot to let me know. She asked to reschedule but I declined.
First impression was not great. I can't imagine myself working for her.

Question 1
Hiring manager did not show up. No questions were asked.
I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Confluent (San Francisco, CA) in June 2022
Interview
Started with a phone screen then moved on to a 30 minute conversation with the hiring manager and was meant to be followed up with 3 back-to-back panel interviews.
The process was long and dragged on for no need. One interviewer was a no-show and 2 interviews were canceled day-of with limited notice. Worst interview experience I've had.

Question 1
Nothing was structured, it was all casual conversation.
