I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Cvent (McLean, VA)
Interview
Went through a recruiter and the whole process took about a month mainly due to constant postponement of interviews by Cvent team. Initial phone screen was postponed twice and when it finally happened it was for over an hour. Mainly questions related to your experience plus sql, continuous integration, data structures, etc. Received feedback that interviewer was worried that I was not doing enough to keep myself updated in my free time. This really sounded strange as he did not even ask me this question. Plus its totally none of their business what an employee would do in his/her free time.
Got selected for on site interview. Got that postponed about 4 times. Finally the day came and I was interviewed for 3 hours and 15 minutes. I was interviewed by 5 people and each one comes in introduces himself and tells you to write code. This is for a senior position and they expect you to remember algorithms that you had done in college. Overall I wasn't even asked for water or coffee in between. By the time 2 hour mark passed I was exhausted as I had already worked on four different problems. Yet the VP comes in says hi and tell you to write code again.
The whole process was very uncomfortable and after the interview pretty much decided I would take the offer.

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
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Cvent (Gurgaon, Haryana) in Nov 2025
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.
