      Software Engineer Interview

      May 11, 2021
      Anonymous Interview Candidate
      Declined offer
      Negative experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Databricks

      Interview

      You go thru' so many rounds which require tons of investment. You need to invest too. much of your time. ROI is low. 3-4 rounds. Includes multiple levels. Do coding assignment, etc. Heavily banking on IPO pop as offer was no-go

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Regular coding problems. Nothing out of the blue. They have no set way to judge your performance (may be they don't like the way you answer)

      Easy interview

      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.
