      Principal Software Engineer Interview

      Oct 7, 2025
      Anonymous Interview Candidate
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Cvent in Sep 2025

      Interview

      Talked to recruiter, then had a first-round behavior with a product person. The second round is tech interview with 2 people; they will focus on system design. I heard there will be a last round onsite but apparently after the second round, the recruiter ghosted me, so I wouldn't know the detail of the last round. The first round was ok, if you worked as a lead or principal engineer before, those behavior and scenario questions will be no problem, but be prepared to articulate your answers. The second round rubbed me in the wrong way, they asked me to design video streaming and ticket master. I tried to articulate as much as i can. But they acted like listeners, not much of following up questions and im not even sure if they're familiar with the tech tools that I suggested, because if they did, they would ask more questions about it. Those 2 young guys were not up to their tasks as technical interview conductor, tbh. After the second round, no response whatsoever
