Interview process is very lengthy. It took almost 2 months (8 weeks). Granted this was a referral
1) Recruiter Screen: 30mins. Pretty basic questions on your background, salary expectations
2) Hiring Manager: 30mins-1hr. Discussions around your resume
3) Technical Screen: 30-45mins. Technical questions are databases, Data Lake, Spark, etc
4) Take home Assignment: 1 week due date. Can be easy or difficult depending on programming experience. SQL etc
5) Leadership Interviews: 30mins 1:1 with Sales and SA Leadership. Mostly a Fit interview
6) Panel: Standard presales presentation.
They do need to conduct better qualification earlier on whether the candidate is the correct fit for a role or not. Databricks interview process is an investment from both the interviewer and interviewee side
