I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Databricks (San Francisco, CA) in Aug 2020
Interview
Had a technical phone screen and manager screen, followed by an onsite, take home interview, and reference check. Questions were challenging, engaging, and insightful with respective to the expectations of engineers.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Why do you want to join this team? How does Databricks fit into your career goals?
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
