I applied online. I interviewed at Databricks (Amsterdam)
Interview
Applied online. Then they scheduled a karat.io interview which was really bad. Karat.io experience was awful. Do not get me wrong, I'm not bad at algorithms interviews, I've seen and solved FAANG interview questions. The karat.io interviewer was not an engineer (was not doing software engineering as a full-time job) and the whole interview was really awkward.
Hopefully, Databricks considers moving to real interviews soon.
Recruiter called after I applied online on their site. Great call, met with the hiring Manager next. Now haven't heard back in 2 weeks, ghosted I guess. My professional experience with Databricks is limited. I spent lots of times with free edition, but didn't get to that point where I could show that.
Had an initial recruiter screen for a Software Engineer position. The call lasted around 15 minutes and covered the usual ground: my background and experience, motivation for applying, current role, and salary expectations. The recruiter also gave a clear overview of teams, the product, and the full interview process ahead.
1. Phone interview with HR.
2. Technical coding question using coder pad. Have to implement from scratch.
Interview process was very fast and recruiter was friendly
Question was little vague but it seems to be leaked a lot on the internet
