I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Databricks in Aug 2020
Interview
There were a few individual pre-selection interviews and then a "virtual on-site", which was essentially a day filled with multiple remote interviews. Finally there was a home assignment, that I could complete on my own time. Each interview was very professional and the tasks were challenging and engaging, but also quite a bit of fun.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Implement and test a simple function in an unknown programming language, given just a manual.
Recruiter called after I applied online on their site. Great call, met with the hiring Manager next. Now haven't heard back in 2 weeks, ghosted I guess. My professional experience with Databricks is limited. I spent lots of times with free edition, but didn't get to that point where I could show that.
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.
1. Phone interview with HR.
2. Technical coding question using coder pad. Have to implement from scratch.
Interview process was very fast and recruiter was friendly
Question was little vague but it seems to be leaked a lot on the internet
