I applied online. The process took 5 weeks. I interviewed at Databricks
Interview
1. Quick phone screen with recruiter
2. Interview with hiring manager - more a resume walkthrough and talking about interests
3. Take home coding assignment. Given 3 options, pick 1. Not too difficult
4. Soft skills interview - behavioral
5. 1 hr presentation. Given a case to prepare for. More of a discussion on your proposed solution. Hiring manager helps prepare.
6. 3 back-to-back 1 on 1. 1 conversational, one technical (ML, Spark, SQL), last one a fit interview
Overall difficult but smooth process. Everyone was super helpful along the way and they really want you to succeed. Recruiter was very responsive.

Interview
Applied online followed by a recruiter phone screening then a hiring manager interview that was one sided and focused on his arrogance and what he is looking for.
I said from day 1 that i haven’t worked with spark extensively and i can learn fast. After that they ghosted me and didn’t provide any feedback.
Waste of
Time
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at Databricks in Sep 2022
Interview
Il faut déjà connaitre parfaitement la plateforme pour avoir une chance. Je pense que se baser uniquement sur la technique est un mauvais calcul, tout s'apprend à conditions d'avoir une bonne base et d'être curieux. Les soft skills sont plus plus compliquées à acquérir et ils devraint donc regarder ce critère beaucoup plus sérieusement et simplifier leur process de recrutement qui est beaucoup trop long et complexe...
