I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Databricks in Oct 2020
Interview
The First-round was held by a third-party Karat. The interviewer gave an implementation-heavy question & got rejected even after completing it. He mentioned you need to complete 2 questions but the first question was so implementation heavy it took the entire time.
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We are always looking for ways to improve our interview process and would love to learn more about any other feedback you may have. If you’re open to it, please contact me directly to discuss further.
