I applied through an employee referral. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Databricks (Seattle, WA) in Sep 2021
Interview
Front end system design for first round, but it is more like front end coding. Nothing to do with actually designing front end to back end interaction, front end security etc. Raw js/ts to manipulate the state and DOM.

Question 1
A simple UI question with an async api call to update the component. Need to do it in pure js/ts and raw state.
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
