I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Databricks (Austin, TX) in Aug 2021
Interview
I first talked to a recruiter who assessed my skills and history, and then the hiring manager, and then the sales director. I stopped the process there as I didn't like the sales director's smug attitude
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
This was the question that made me not want to entertain the company any longer- "Tell me about Databricks history from open source to the current products and how you would sell that to potential customers?" I said "should I work there, I would definitely be able to answer those questions and sell that to customers just like I did at my previous job." He said "there was just an article in <big name magazine> Magazine about us which answered all of those questions, I suggest you read that if you want to pursue a job here."
Multiple rounds of interview , take home assessment was not very tough . But panel presentation round was tough , it seems they want candidate who can wow them even though all rounds went fine .
I go the first phone call which went pretty well. Then I passed a first panel round on simple architecture. Did first round technical round, but never heard back again.
