I applied online. I interviewed at Databricks (San Francisco, CA) in Sep 2020
Interview
It was an online assessment hosted by Code Signal, and I had 70 minutes to complete four algorithms questions. A code signal assessment can be completed once every two weeks. Overall I think it was not a difficult assessment but they ghosted me afterwards.
Recruiter called after I applied online on their site. Great call, met with the hiring Manager next. Now haven't heard back in 2 weeks, ghosted I guess. My professional experience with Databricks is limited. I spent lots of times with free edition, but didn't get to that point where I could show that.
Had an initial recruiter screen for a Software Engineer position. The call lasted around 15 minutes and covered the usual ground: my background and experience, motivation for applying, current role, and salary expectations. The recruiter also gave a clear overview of teams, the product, and the full interview process ahead.
1. Phone interview with HR.
2. Technical coding question using coder pad. Have to implement from scratch.
Interview process was very fast and recruiter was friendly
Question was little vague but it seems to be leaked a lot on the internet
