I applied online. I interviewed at Databricks (Londres, Inglaterra) in Jul 2022
Interview
As poor as it can be. Requirement needs basic adulation / training on how to communicate. Interviews got cancelled at the last min. No response through mail during the interview process when i shared my availability though mail,
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Databricks as an organization doesn't know what are the looking for . Its a complete waste of time.
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Databricks (París) in Jun 2021
Interview
2 pre cast interviews (1 by talent acquisition, 1 by manager who hire for this job)
5 interviews
Split on 2 weeks.
Great interviews, which have allow me to ask questions about the role to each interviewer in order to fully grasp the role.

Question 1
Why do you want to leave a final customer to go to a provider ?
I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Databricks (Singapur) in Jul 2021
Interview
I applied almost a month back. They scheduled me through four weeks of interviews, consisting of 5 rounds. Was told in the afternoon today by one of the recruiters that I had cleared all five rounds, and that they will be scheduling me to two more rounds with senior leadership. Which was great; I too thought there was a great fit between the team and me.
An hour later, another recruiter emailed in, and said, actually, their needs have changed, that they wanted this profile to be Mandarin-speaking, and asked if I speak the language. I said no. And so, now I have been told they will not be proceeding with my profile anymore.
I had been genuinely excited about the company and what they are doing. But this was completely out of the blue, and frankly, very disappointing. Astonishing that a company would realise only after a month into a process, and after clearing 5 interviews with them, that they actually needed Mandarin skills to begin with. In English-speaking Singapore, that effectively restricts the role only to people of Chinese origin.
