I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Databricks in Dec 2024
Interview
A shambles.
- First interview conducted by hiring manager in back of a car.
- Three additional interviews, all of the attendees were late, and several times we rearranged.
- Call with the VP who asked me to confirm with HR if the panel interview would take place at the agreed time
- For the panel I had no documents and had to chase HR myself and meeting was rearranged.
- The panel were poorly prepared and provided no time for my questions. Very abrupt questioning and no 'thank you'
The lack of attention to detail was a good insight into the company. They have a reputation for this in the region I work in. Rely on the tech to do all the selling and this came across.
Better companies in the market.

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.

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.
