      Software Engineer Interview

      Negative experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Databricks (Amsterdam) in Jan 2020

      Interview

      I applied for software engineer - distributed data system Amsterdam. Did 3 rounds technical interview(one karat), one HM round. After completing 3 technical round, 1 Hiring Manager round. I received a mail from HR stating that we would like to conduct 1 more technical round of interview before proceeding to onsite. I was still okay with it although I think if you can't judge someone's coding skills from 3 rounds of technical interview, it's better to drop at this stage itself. Now, comes the interesting part, after 2 weeks of no scheduling, I reached out to HR and got an automated mail stating the "Databricks won't be moving ahead with the interview". I mailed the HR again for the feedback and his feedback was it's because of skills mismatch. Now, this is the real disgusting part. After spending 2 months of my energy and time preparing for Databricks, after 3 technical and 1 HM round, you say there is a skill mismatch? I never told anything new in the interviews which is not in my resume. It was a complete waste of my time and effort. The whole process took more than a month to schedule the interviews. The company that can't do a simple skill match job can't be better at other jobs!

      Application

      I interviewed at Databricks (Amsterdam)

      Interview

      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.
