I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Databricks in Oct 2020
Interview
Initial screening call, technical interview with a Solutions Architect, and a take-home technical assessment. The assessment is covered by a NDA and was the most demanding part of the process.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
If you had tables X and Y and joined table Y to X using a left join how many rows would be returned?
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.
