I applied through an employee referral. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Databricks in Apr 2023
Interview
The interview process took about 3 -4 weeks. Accounting for a tech assessment and an loop interview. The final interview was with a senior director. You will be interacting with a few recruiters at Databricks. I had a pleasant experience with the first recruiter but after my tech assessment my second recruiter was not great. I had to follow up multiple times about updates on following rounds and even when I got to the last round of interviews, my interviewer never showed up. I waited 30 minutes and reached out to the recruiter who didn't respond for 4 hours. Finally when the call was rescheduled and after the interview the recruiter told me I would get updates by a specific day. 2 weeks go by with no response and finally I reach out to ask for a final update being told I didn't get the offer. Overall meeting the team was great but just the recruitment process was frustrating.
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.
