1. Tech Round (Phone)
2.(Case Study- phone) and get to know
3. Onsite---- (Weird Weird Weird)
Reached out to schedule 5 interviews via video. I requested to break it to a couple days - granted.
1st day- 3 interviews
1st Interview- Tech Round Sql based on coderpad
2nd- Case study Centered around metrics to solve a business problem
3rd- This is where it starts--------------RED FLAG 1-----------------------------------------
Interviewer- ok we'll do a case study. Can you open Coderpad?
me- Sure
I- Types in a schema.
me (Wondering)- Isn't this the same as 1st round? Forget it, maybe that's the tactic
I- voices over the ques
me- Can you please type that in?
I- Sure. [Pastes something. (Ques followed by 3 prompts that read "Do not show to candidate")] lol
me- starts solving (It's the same ques as first round but I think maybe they're gonna probe some other angle)
In a 45 min round when I'm almost done solving the ques thinking I nailed it- at the 42nd min-
I- Didn't you solve this before?
me- yes, kind of.
I- why didn't you tell me?
me (Wondering)- really?
I- the first interviewer wasn't supposed to ask this but something else.
me- (Wondering) - Is that my problem?
me- I can redo this if need be
I- Someone will reach out to you.
--------They reach out over phone----RED FLAG 2-------
"We apologize for the mess up. Hope you would like to continue the remaining 2 interviews?"
me- Sure. Hope this doesn't fall on my plate and impact my candidacy
Caller- not at all. We'll redo that messed up module in case you clear other rounds.
Me- Ok
------------------------------------------------------------------
Interview 4 next day (Someone who I'd spoken to before. )
I- We're sorry for the mess-up as the problem was "Largely" on us. blah blah blah....
me- okay. Can we continue with the interview?
I- Interview? Didn't the person who'd called you convey that we don't find you a good fit?
me- Whaaaat? (they're calling it off??, really? )
I- yeah, I'm sorry it's miscommunication again. I wasn't even planning to conduct this call, instead I joined coz I saw it on my calendar.
me- hangs up.

Interviewed with Confluent two times for two different positions. First one I ended up getting ghosted after 2 rounds and I foolishly decided to interview again for another position after a different recruiter reached out after over 6 months since the first interview period (long enough for me to forget what happened). Ended up finishing another 2 rounds for the new position before getting ghosted again and told a month later the position would be outsourced. Unprofessional and fooled me twice.

Signed NDA but normal data science questions with nothing too difficult or out there.
The process was a set of SQL and Python problems. There were 3 SQL problems and 1 Python problem. The next round consisted of a case study related to their product.
