I applied online. The process took 7 weeks. I interviewed at Databricks (Belgrade, Central Serbia) in May 2024
Interview
First came the recruiter interview then a couple of technical interviews, algorithmic and coding type. After that came the behavioural interview with the engineering manager. I got a generic reject letter at the very end.
Interview questions [4]
Question 1
Algorith interview: Scheduling problem, there is a conference room and a number of offers that consist of time of start, duration and the price they are going to pay. For example [1,5,100], [3,9,1000],... You want to maximize profit.
Coding interview: A skeleton of a class was given and a big description of what the goal of the class is, how it would be used, etc. You need to implement some functionalities, test and debug the solution.
Recruiter reached out + brief recruiter call. First round was 2 technical questions; one was leetcode and one was an implementation question where you had to write your own test cases. Final round was a behavioral with hiring manager where they asked about my previous experiences.
