Confluent Software Engineer interview with system design and DSA rounds

My process had three segments. First, I completed a qualifying technical round. Then came the heavier middle section: three rounds combining system design with DSA, with the DSA portion mostly resembling LeetCode medium difficulty. The final segment was a behavioral round with a senior manager.

The process felt difficult because the middle block required sustained technical thinking across several interviewers and formats. I stayed engaged throughout, but the pace and the mix of DSA and system design made each round feel demanding on its own.

I didn't receive an offer. The structure was clear, but the range of technical expectations across the system design and DSA rounds was the most demanding part and ultimately limited how far I got.

Location: India. Overall feedback: Neutral. Offer status: No offer.
