I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Databricks (Amsterdam) in Feb 2021
Interview
The procedure starts with an online challenge. You get the feeling that there is something wrong with this place since this step. The challenge require you to open your camera and remove your headphone as if you could cheat on this one and still succeed on the rest!
Afterwards comes an interview with the HR. She didn't even open her camera and was late to the meeting.
First question: When will you graduate and I replied that it could be 2022 or 2023 and she was like oh we are sorry but we are only interested in candidates who will certainly graduate this year. Like what difference does it make when will I exactly graduate? I'm applying for an internship and she didn't want to continue with the process since I'm not graduating in 2022.
Bottom-line, was of time. Make your advertisement more clear and ask about the graduation date before you waste my 2hours on a challenge.
