The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Confluent
Interview
Long process journey, with different steps but with diluted times. They didn't proceed in parallel with more than one candidates. Very bad experience with local and EMEA management. Moreover they asked to prepare the panel in one day.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Please let me know how you will approach your job for your customer set....but they never shared with me the name of customer...
4 round stage
HR manager (admin vetting) -> direct manager -> sales leader -> country leader and colleagues.
Mostly focused around sales process, attitude, and character rather than applied knowledge of Confluent's technology
Brief interview process. Management seems stale. A little undercooked. Needs some seasoning. They seem to miss the mark on the type of questions that they ask and seem very egocentric whenever interviewing.
Process was great. The managers really knew their stuff and asked in depth, thought out questions. Come prepared. Have to do a presentation as well as the 4th round. All in all it was a great process. I really respected the knowledge of the managers, and thought that they did a really good job guiding me.
