Databricks Architect Solutions interview questions

The interview process took about 3 -4 weeks. Accounting for a tech assessment and an loop interview. The final interview was with a senior director. You will be interacting with a few recruiters at Databricks. I had a pleasant experience with the first recruiter but after my tech assessment my second recruiter was not great. I had to follow up multiple times about updates on following rounds and even when I got to the last round of interviews, my interviewer never showed up. I waited 30 minutes and reached out to the recruiter who didn't respond for 4 hours. Finally when the call was rescheduled and after the interview the recruiter told me I would get updates by a specific day. 2 weeks go by with no response and finally I reach out to ask for a final update being told I didn't get the offer. Overall meeting the team was great but just the recruitment process was frustrating.

It was all around a pleasant experience with the recruiter reaching out after each stage to provide an update and next steps. Overall a lengthy process at around 2 months 1. Recruiter call (30mins) - Basic questions on experience and technical skills, expectations 2. Hiring Manager (45 mins) - A more detailed interview with the hiring manager on why Databricks, certain scenarios/behavioural questions related to client/customer facing experiences, and technical skills/experiences 3. Technical Exercise - Take home exercise to be completed over a few days using Databricks. (Signed NDA) 4. Technical Interview (1 hour) - Interview on technical knowledge. This was more on breadth and being able to explain core concepts 5.

There are a couple of sessions before this to prepare for the presentation 6. Director call (30 mins) - Interview with the director on understanding of the role, some questions on experience 7. Feedback/offer (30 mins) - This is more of a feedback call with the recruiter and hiring manager
