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.

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
