I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Cvent (Tysons Corner, VA) in Feb 2024
Interview
Recruiters are utterly terrible, respond very late, and suggest times your not available. Because of this, I received an offer with another company I interviewed with and decided not to go through their long interview process (you don't even pay competitively for me to jump through hoops). Despite terrible experience with recruiting, the team members I spoke to were very friendly. Note: Onsite was scheduled but I chose to not proceed due to receiving a much larger offer than Cvent's range, with a more well known company. Here is the interview process:
1. Hiring manager (Sr. Manager, Engineering)
2. Technical assessment (same to what's been posted here)
3. Onsite rounds (3)
Onsite #1. Coding (90 min)
Onsite #2. Behavioral (45min)
Onsite #3. System design (45min)
Interview questions [2]
Question 1
Hiring manager:
1. How can you optimize the performance of a db
2. Explain primary & foreign key
3. What is an inner join and outer join
4. Explain a promise
5. How does the JS event loop work
6. Explain differences between function declaration and arrow function
7. Most challenging task throughout your experience
Technical Assessment:
1. Design an API structure (no code, just paths/verbs/errors) for an event system (kinda like the beginning of a system design problem)
2. Given values array and gapSize, print out min/max values within each gap length (fixed sliding window = gapSize)
const values1 = [0, 1, 3, 4, 5, 8, 9, 10, 11];
const gapSize1 = 3;
console.log(groupValues(values1, gapSize1)); // Output: [{ min: 0, max: 3 }, { min: 4, max: 8}, { min: 9, max: 11 }]
I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Cvent (Gurgaon, Haryana) in Jan 2026
Interview
Interviewer was intentionally rude and passing snarky comments. What just could have a screening round was made into an ego battle.
Combination or Online and offline rounds, First on zoom call then rest offline. Started with introduction and then questions. Overall negative experience.
I applied in-person. I interviewed at Cvent (Bengaluru) in Nov 2025

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.
Final Thought
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
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Cvent (Gurgaon, Haryana) in Nov 2025
Interview
Avoid them, they waste candidate time by lowballing them. Total 3 technical rounds.
1. A platform link is shared, solve 3-4 question there.
2. F2F round. They literally ask everything. JS, react, testing, ci/cd, architecture, DSA.
3. Tech + managerial F2F - resume, system design.
After all this wasted time by giving lowballed offer. Also they ghost lot of folks if they aren't going ahead with them.
