I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Databricks (Sunnyvale, CA) in Jan 2020
Interview
First and Second round Coding video Interviews and interviewer would usually be helpful and give hints or what they are expecting from the output and next would have been Managerial video interview round . All the test cases should pass for successfully proceed to next round.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
First round was the Karat Interview round .....Lowest common ancestor for two nodes in a Graph where parent and child relationship was given. Follow up question was to find oldest anscestor for a node.
Second round: binary vertical tree traversal in O(n ) time.
Typical: recruiter call, 2 technicals, final behavioral. Know how to be collaborative and quick. The coding rounds aren’t always traditional leetcode so know how to write clean, structured code (deisgn problems on LC with intentional solutions will help).
Overall, the process was fairly typical. It started with an initial phone screen, followed by back-to-back technical interviews that focused on problem-solving and core concepts, and concluded with a conversation with the hiring manager to discuss experience, team fit, and expectations for the role.
Just a few technicals and HM round which involves a project deep dive and behavioural section, LC was med-hard in difficulty roughly. Make sure to do LC tagged for the best chances
