I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Databricks (New York, NY) in Nov 2024
Interview
Interviews are very fast, which includes recruiter call, OA, hiring manager, tech screening, and more rounds but I didn't get in further process. Overall I like the interviews, very clear expectations of each round. Don't expect to have same questions because I think Databricks crafts questions according to your profile, so make sure to reinforce what you know by having a perfect answers, know your resume like the back of your hands.
first round was with the recruiter. did not get past that. Mostly because the experience didnt match. They are very precise on years of experience. They are very precise on years of experience.
Poor interview process. Were unclear about stages and mixed up the sequence of stages. I cleared the advanced stages first but didn’t clear the HM stage. A bit of a let down to both parties as it wasted our precious time due to misaligned expectations.
The hiring process consists of several stages: a recruiter interview, technical interviews, a hiring manager interview, a case study interview, and a technical assessment assignment to evaluate candidate skills and suitability in python and spark.
