I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Databricks (Amsterdam) in Oct 2020
Interview
2 screening rounds: one coding and one behavioral
5 onsite rounds: system design, architecture, unknown language, behavioral and ds algo.
I had good experience talking to the system design, architecture and behavioral round. But other interviewers weren't as experienced in the art of interviewing and were definitely not well prepped. I wouldn't want to work with such people.
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
