I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Databricks (London, England) in Oct 2020

Perhaps this was the most number of interviews that I did for one company, it goes as below:
1- Introductory call with a recruiter
2- Interview with Area VP
3- Take-home assignment
4- Technical Interview
5- Architecture Interview
6- Culture Fit interview
7- Manager Interview
8- Sales Interview
9- Director Interview
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
There was an NDA so can't say anything specific. Still, perhaps the take-home assignment was the most challenging bit, 5 different data sets that you need to tackle with different data engineering and machine learning skills, and this all has to be done on the databricks platform community edition, you have one week, and you need to score above 80% to pass.
Other interviews were pretty much standard question-based, but overall the team was really friendly, great and talented people.
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.
