Confluent Software Engineer Internship interview questions

The first call with the recruiter covered some basic background and expectations. I was also asked to walk through two coding problems verbally, which felt more like a screening than a full technical round. I completed the OA as requested, but didn’t hear anything back—even after following up via email. No rejection email, no updates. Pretty disappointing communication. I’ve had smoother interview flows at other companies recently. For comparison, I’ve been using platforms like Hack2Hire and LeetCode to prep for these types of interviews, and most other companies give at least some feedback or closure. This was one of the few cases where the process just dropped off entirely.
