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.
I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Databricks (São Paulo, ) in Apr 2026
Interview
Initially, I was contacted by the recruiter. After a meeting, I was set up for a meeting with the hiring manager, but after 4 weeks, I got no feedback, even after sending a message to the recruiter.
Very nice and professional recruiter and team. I had a positive experience with the interviews however the process was very long (2months from first screen) and lengthy between each call, and mid process I was informed that the position was ‘frozen’ and on hold.
