I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Databricks
Interview
I submitted the online application. The recruiter scheduled a call with me, with the earliest time slot being two weeks after the initial email. Then two technical phone screens, each one about an hour long with a week in between. Virtual on-site that was five hours and four rounds. I had a terrible experience overall. Received very positive feedback for each stage of the interview rounds (including during the on-site, when the interviewers told me I had solved each problem correctly), but was rejected after the five hour virtual on-site with no feedback. When I asked for feedback the recruiter just gave me generic tips and "advised" me to "improve my technical skills," which I found strange since I had solved every part of the interview questions with time to spare. The recruiter also promised to finish the entire interview process within two weeks, but the process ended up taking four weeks.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
LC medium style questions for technical phone screens.
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

Past experience.
Projects you have worked on
didn't make it past the first technical round. questions are decently challenging (ie: leetcode med/hard level difficulty), and can range from very mathy topics to bit manipulation, to dynamic programming. be prepared for all scenarios and all topics on leetcode.
