I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Databricks in May 2025
Interview

Question 1

It was a very fun and good process, your time is valued and you are treated very well.
Would highly recommend that anyone who wants to do so to go for this position.

Interview
A structured hiring process. Multiple rounds that included recruiter screening interview, hiring manager interview, coding assignment, technical interview, stakeholder interview, panel presentation and finally a senior executive interview.
