recruiter, hm, tech, presentation, director and vp rounds.
The recruiter ghosted after the tech round, although the tech round went really good. Simple questions, basic databricks skills, apache spark required but not mentioned in the job desc
I applied through other source. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Databricks (Ámsterdam) in Dec 2024
Interview
Very smooth and pleasant interview process from beginning till end. I received a full feedback document with positives and negatives alike. The process included a tech coding assignment with two coding questions that you can run against test cases, two separate rounds of calls where you need to come up with an architecture for some potential real world customer scenario and a technical interview with just specific questions on various technologies
