I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Databricks in Sept 2021
Interview
First had codesignal (didn't do that well). Got contacted for recruiter call two days later, then scheduled a first round technical interview was an LC medium. Got contacted the next day for a final technical interview, was an LC hard under the Databricks tagged questions. Got rejected after a couple days.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Look under the Databricks tagged questions on Leetcode.
Typical: recruiter call, 2 technicals, final behavioral. Know how to be collaborative and quick. The coding rounds aren’t always traditional leetcode so know how to write clean, structured code (deisgn problems on LC with intentional solutions will help).
Overall, the process was fairly typical. It started with an initial phone screen, followed by back-to-back technical interviews that focused on problem-solving and core concepts, and concluded with a conversation with the hiring manager to discuss experience, team fit, and expectations for the role.
Just a few technicals and HM round which involves a project deep dive and behavioural section, LC was med-hard in difficulty roughly. Make sure to do LC tagged for the best chances
