I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Databricks (Londen, Engeland) in May 2023
Interview
Went through Recruitment, then manager, technical assignment and technical interview.
I quickly understood that on the same day of my technical interview another candidate accepted an offer.
In other words, I sent a weekend working on the technical assignment with simply no hope to get hired.

I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Databricks (Parijs) in Dec 2022
Interview
I was interviewed for the presales solution engineer/solution architect. Overall the interview process was quite smooth but a bit long at the end: - discussion with hr+ hiring manager - coding home assignment (spark/databricks coding exercise) - 3 "technical" interviews: the first one is really technical, going in depth into details but no coding, 2nd is architecture/system design interview and the 3rd is a situational interview, as if you have prospects/customer in front of you. - wrap up with hiring manager - exec interview They are also doing a referral check so be prepared to list few former managers/colleagues. This interview process required quite some preparation and time investment but was overall very relevant and interesting. The interviewers seems all very smart, in addition to be welcoming and helping me feeling comfortable. The recruiter was proactive and answered all my questions in a timely manner.

Interview
The best recruiter and hiring manager that I've ever met! They made me relaxed during every stage of the interviews. Even though Databricks has quite many few interview steps, I could tell these all were worth it!
