I applied online. The process took 5 weeks. I interviewed at Databricks in Mar 2025
Interview
5 rounds including recruiter screen - others have listed out the exact steps, and your recruiter will do the same. I found the process to be straightforward and fair. It may be more technically challenging for some depending on where your experience level is at in the cloud-first data & AI space. However, this is an experienced role and to me, the challenging parts of the process set a very fair expectation. The final step in the process, the panel interview, may also be more difficult for folks that lack prior sales / pre-sales / consulting experience. However, your hiring manager is your ally at this point, and will help you a lot to prepare as long as you utilize them properly.
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.
