Interview
My experience was kinda weird. The recruiter called me to schedule another call with one of the hiring managers. The hiring manager was polite . We discussed my experience in general. Then, I was sent a REST API project to work on. Pretty simple stuff. One week later, I got the feedback that Junit test cases were not written. I was surprised because I associate startups with fast pace "real" work. If a 3-4 year experienced person can write a set of APIs she sure can write a couple of Junit test cases too. Well, since I had deadline approaching, I didn't write the test cases.
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.

I applied online. I interviewed at Confluent (Toronto, ON)
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.
