I applied through an employee referral. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Databricks (Seattle, WA) in Sept 2021
Interview
Front end system design for first round, but it is more like front end coding. Nothing to do with actually designing front end to back end interaction, front end security etc. Raw js/ts to manipulate the state and DOM.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
A simple UI question with an async api call to update the component. Need to do it in pure js/ts and raw state.
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

Question 1
Why Databricks?
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.
