      Software Engineer(Internship) Interview

      Difficult interview

      Application

      I interviewed at Confluent

      Interview

      Initially, a coding assessment that consists of 8 questions in 70 minutes. Two were free response and six were multiple choice, and the test was quite hard. It is also closed book which makes it more difficult. You will be pressed for time so you should answer the questions as quickly as you can, especially the multiple choice questions.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Q: Take a decimal number in base 10, convert it to binary, interchange all the 1s and 0s, then convert that number back to base 10.

      Average interview

      Application

      I interviewed at Confluent

      Interview

      The first call with the recruiter covered some basic background and expectations. I was also asked to walk through two coding problems verbally, which felt more like a screening than a full technical round. I completed the OA as requested, but didn’t hear anything back—even after following up via email. No rejection email, no updates. Pretty disappointing communication. I’ve had smoother interview flows at other companies recently. For comparison, I’ve been using platforms like Hack2Hire and LeetCode to prep for these types of interviews, and most other companies give at least some feedback or closure. This was one of the few cases where the process just dropped off entirely.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Basic background questions from the recruiter Two simple algorithm questions explained out loud (no code submission)
