I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Cvent (Maidenhead, England) in Mar 2018
Interview
The most unprofessional company I have ever interviewed with. 20min silly psychometric test which includes english language questions. 1 hr of telephonic conversation which was to the point, relevant and professional.
HR conveyed that I cleared both the rounds and scheduled a video conference interview and cancelled it just 30min before the schedule and was pretty impressed with himself about calling me instead of standing me up. reason was 'the interviewer have back to back meetings and cant take an interview'.
They never called me back to say anything. I was referred by their long time current employee and she told me that they have decided not to proceed with my application and didn't give any feedback.
The so called manager have spoken to me 2 times before the interview process began to check my availability, salary expectation etc. These guys don't have any empathy, professionalism or respect towards a candidate or their current employee. They made their employee look silly in front of her friend by being so unprofessional.
Its good news for me because I came to know early on about their culture. I have worked with renowned companies for more than 10 years and only applied here because its located close to home. I would never take such unprofessional behaviour even for a day. This is not for talented people with backbone.
I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Cvent (Gurgaon, Haryana) in Jan 2026
Interview
Interviewer was intentionally rude and passing snarky comments. What just could have a screening round was made into an ego battle.
Combination or Online and offline rounds, First on zoom call then rest offline. Started with introduction and then questions. Overall negative experience.
I applied in-person. I interviewed at Cvent (Bengaluru) in Nov 2025

Cvent Interview Experience – Bangalore (Honest Feedback)
Cvent Gurgaon is generally known as a good place to work, but my interview experience at the Bangalore office was quite disappointing.
The interview process had three rounds:
Round 1 – Online Interview
This round was fine. They asked:
• Basic Ruby on Rails coding (anagram check)
• One simple SQL question (employee–department type)
Nothing unusual here.
Round 2 – Onsite Interview (Forced Visit own expense )
They insisted that I come to the Bangalore office for the next round, which was conducted by an architect.
He asked:
• One very basic coding question
• Then asked me to explain the architecture of one of my previous architecture of my work
The problem was not the question, but the way it was evaluated.
Instead of asking:
• How the system scales
• Traffic handling
• Data flow
• Trade-offs and decisions
He kept judging my previous company’s architecture, continuously making notes, without exploring my thinking, decisions, or problem-solving approach.
This felt unfair. An interview should evaluate:
• How a candidate thinks
• How they design systems
• How they approach scalability and constraints
If the expectation was a system design round, they should have given a fresh architecture problem, not judged someone based on the constraints and decisions of a different organization.
Final Thought
If you live far from Bangalore, I would not recommend traveling to the Bangalore office for interviews, as the onsite experience did not justify the

Interview
Avoid them, they waste candidate time by lowballing them. Total 3 technical rounds.
1. A platform link is shared, solve 3-4 question there.
2. F2F round. They literally ask everything. JS, react, testing, ci/cd, architecture, DSA.
3. Tech + managerial F2F - resume, system design.
After all this wasted time by giving lowballed offer. Also they ghost lot of folks if they aren't going ahead with them.
