ConfluentSoftware Engineer · L5“The interview process has been smooth and professional so far, though the timeline is moving a bit slowly at my request. The communication from the team has been clear, and the scheduling was flexible enough to accommodate my timeline constraints. While the pacing is currently deliberate due to my specific request, the overall structure of the assessment rounds feels well-organized and fair.”
ConfluentSoftware Engineer““Bit long” means something takes more time, steps, or effort than necessary or expected, but not excessively.”
ConfluentSenior Software Engineer 2“Overall interview process was fairly standard. Coding questions were similar to the previous interview experiences. Make sure to be fluent with file system APIs (reading and writing data within files). System design questions were fairly standard questions.”
ConfluentSenior Software Engineer 2“In coding rounds, the questions asked were NOT leetcode based. Both coding rounds had follow ups. Expection is to have working solutions. In one of the system design rounds, there was unusally more focus on the APIs than the actual design.”
ConfluentSenior Software Engineer 2 · L4“Interview process was straightforward with standard components: Leetcode (2 rounds), System Design (2 rounds), Behavioural (1 round). Leetcode is of level Medium to Hard, with practice. You can probably do it.”

AnthropicSoftware Engineer, Safeguards · L5“The weirdest Anthropic round was the company values interview. It was almost like a therapy session, and honestly if you went to a therapist at some point, you will pass that round much more easily.”
NetflixEngineering Manager, Tooling“What was very unusual is they didn’t give me any tooling to draw the system design, so I just sketched it on a piece of paper and talked them through it, then we got into this oddly deep debate about whether hover-over history should count as a recommendation signal.”
