The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Databricks (San Francisco, CA) in Mar 2022
Interview
Spent 40 hours completing their take home assignment for them to tell me they're not moving forward, not even offering a 'grade' on the assignment. Poor interview experience, not much empathy from the recruiters.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Questions about data engineering, transforming data sets, tons of sql queries and running an ML algo (of your choice)
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.
