Databricks interview questions

The hiring process consisted of an introductory interview (30 minutes), followed by two technical interviews (1 hour each). The first technical interview was performed by the third-party Karat, to establish base-line programming ability. The second technical interview was performed in-house and was effectively a poor imitation of the Karat process - it was described as a second-round technical interview (requiring some familiarity with the Databricks product) but consisted of the same content as the first-round interview, albeit with a much worse question set. It is also worth noting that the position advertised was for backend, but the Databricks interviewer was a frontend engineer and unfamiliar with the language used during the interview. The programming language "choice" was also criticised despite being required for the position.

They set up an interview with Karat. If pass the first interview, there will be two more rounds with Databricks employees. The second round will still be the technical interview, and the third one will be more like knowing more about the background information and skill level.
