Recruiter was barely responsive and copy+pasted a generic, rambling email after the initial call. The interviewer asked an average problem that I didn't have an issue solving. Was rejected with no feedback despite receiving offers from companies more competitive than Databricks.
Overall impressions:
- Lack of value in communication
- General philosophy of optimizing for the local maximum rather than the global maximum
- Lack of value in culture (recruiter's entire pitch for joining Databricks was around how much funding they'd secured)
Fiz uma entrevista na empresa Databricks (Amsterdã).
Entrevista
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

didn't make it past the first technical round. questions are decently challenging (ie: leetcode med/hard level difficulty), and can range from very mathy topics to bit manipulation, to dynamic programming. be prepared for all scenarios and all topics on leetcode.
