I applied through a recruiter. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at Databricks (Bengaluru) in Sept 2023
Interview
Interview Process:- Hiring Manager discussion followed by 2 technical rounds and then discussion with project manager, take-home assignment, and AVP. Overall Feedback:- Expected some transparency and professionalism from HR. If you are not interested then why wasted my time? Cleared all 6 rounds and after that HR came up with a weird response that my experience and skills didn't align with the position for which I was interviewed and they could offer me a position for which the compensation is much less than my current pay. Please stop giving senseless reasons for rejecting. I would advise candidates to think twice before giving the interview. Don't be surprised if you get rejected even after performing really well.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Spark and Databricks Internals. Streaming Internals. Take Home assessment related to Spark optimization, SQL, Code refactoring, and Spark MLLib.
Multiple rounds of interview , take home assessment was not very tough . But panel presentation round was tough , it seems they want candidate who can wow them even though all rounds went fine .
I go the first phone call which went pretty well. Then I passed a first panel round on simple architecture. Did first round technical round, but never heard back again.
