Interview questions [1]
Question 1
The Vp presales really only focused on academic questions such as the difference between a datalake and a data warehouse . It seemed that what only mattered to her was the ability to understand the space from a pure expertise .
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Databricks (São Paulo, São Paulo) in Dec 2025
Interview
RH inflexível, interrompeu o processo de contratação devido a preconceitos com relação ao currículo, não permitindo, sequer, uma avaliação direta com o candidato. O RH, através de uma verificação superficial das empresas listadas no currículo, deduziu um comportamento erroneamente, que seria facilmente esclarecido numa rápida conversa, mas preferiu eliminar um excelente candidato do processo baseado em conceitos pré definidos.

Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Quelle est la business value de notre entreprise ?
Very poor candidate experience with unnecessary steps. Expect you to interview like you’ve been working there for 1+ years. Prior to interviewing, I was told by other people that the culture was toxic. I got to see this in the SA interview. Being a top performing sales rep is not good enough. Expect to be grilled by the SA asking you to sell their platform to them.

Question 1
Think of a company you sold to and how would you sell Databricks to them.
