Horrible interviewing experience. My interviewer got changed 4 times. During the interview, interviewer stopped every two seconds to ask clarifying questions about my implementation, as they didn't know how a BFS worked. Drained all my time so I didn't get to run my code. Overall, very dissapointed.
short 20 min recruiter screening. Asked basic questions: Tell me about yourself, what role are you looking for, etc. Asked about my previous internship experience and the work I did there, kind of just a resume walk through. Recruiter told me he'll move me to the next round which is a 60 min technical interview with an engineer.

Question 1
How did your work at [previous internship] end? What was the result?
Very poor candidate experience with unnecessary steps. Expect you to interview like you’ve been working there for 1+ years. Prior to interviewing, I was told by other people that the culture was toxic. I got to see this in the SA interview. Being a top performing sales rep is not good enough. Expect to be grilled by the SA asking you to sell their platform to them.

Question 1
Think of a company you sold to and how would you sell Databricks to them.
