Around 5 stages- recruiter screen, take home in python or sql,HM interview, technical interview, case study presentation and then a director chat. Overall moves quite quickly and they seem to have a talented team.

Question 1
mainly around my experience and data/ai tech questions
The interview started late due to some network issue on recruiter side. The cameras were turned off, hence it was weird talking to a blank screen for interview.
Questions were about how many projects do you do at one time (seems like CV wasnt read by recruiter before), which languages you know, have experience in networking (hints at probably cv was not read). No questions about databricks, which was weird.
Overall okayish experience, was expecting better after reading from the community. Hopefully next time

I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Databricks in Jan 2026
Interview
The process was very smooth, they provided reasonable motivations and feedback, and the recruiter was available for a short feedback call in the end. Have to say, not common in the industry

Question 1
Tell me about a time you did something outstanding
Interview process was smooth, nice people. 1 HM round, 1 tech round on PySpark and 1 Presentation round. Databricks was not listed as a requirement, and HM said I wouldn't need it for the interviews. But, I was rejected after the presentation round because of less Databricks knowledge, which made no sense

Question 1
Presentation panel was basically to sell Databricks to customers
