Interview questions [1]
Question 1
They asked me to complete a SQL test, which was quite challenging as it required the use of multiple joins, window functions, and advanced querying techniques.
I applied online. The process took 6 months. I interviewed at Databricks (London, England) in Oct 2024
Interview
Overadvertised and under-responsive.
Quite disappointing not to be treated properly even after a multitude of LinkedIn posts mentioning that they are allegedly hiring.
A long way to treat candidates properly even during the offer period.
