I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Databricks (Melbourne)
Interview
The process started with HR round and then moved onto take hole technical coding round. It was followed by technical round and a final panel interview. They moved between interviews pretty quickly. There was a prep call with the HM as well. After the final round they did not even have courtesy to give feedback or the outcome. There was radio silence and I figured out it was a rejection.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Fire and forget questions like describe spark architecture, OLAP vs OLTP etc
I applied online and was contacted by a recruiter for an initial call. My background and experience were not aligned with the role, so we did not proceed to the next round.
Unfortunately, the interview experience was not very positive. The recruiter was late to the scheduled call, and the communication style felt somewhat one-sided and pushy rather than collaborative. I would have appreciated a more balanced and respectful conversation.
Multiple rounds of interview , take home assessment was not very tough . But panel presentation round was tough , it seems they want candidate who can wow them even though all rounds went fine .
I go the first phone call which went pretty well. Then I passed a first panel round on simple architecture. Did first round technical round, but never heard back again.
