I applied online. I interviewed at Databricks (San Francisco, CA) in Dec 2020
Interview
I was rejected at the first coding interview. 4 Codesignal questions with 1 hour and 30 minutes. At that time, I don’t have any experience for solving some coding questions, but if I practiced some leetcode medium questions, I think I will be fine.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
There was an island question and I need to remove island. The input was a 2d array matrix and islands are represented 1. You need to remove the 1’s except 1’s are connecting edges of the matrix and return it.
I applied online and received an email about the oa after 5 days. The oa should be completed in 2 weeks and it is on codesignal. There are 4 coding questions and should be done in 70 minutes. The questions are medium and hard level, and I didn't finish all of them.
I got link to test consisting of 4 problems and 70 minutes. I solved all four of them in less then 60 minutes and got perfect score. Haven't heard anything from them for more then 4 weeks, today I got rejection mail. Not sure why have they sent me test at first place, but it is what it is.
