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
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
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
