I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Databricks (Atlanta, GA) in Dec 2020
Interview
The people were nice that a met with. I spoke with 3 individuals for 30 minutes each. I have been selling IT pro svcs for the last 10 years which isn't apples to apples as a data platform. They didn't answer any questions I couldn't answer (sales 101), but they seemed to be looking for a specific response that only folks from their exact industry might know. For example, they asked me how i would go about building a territory. In my opinion, there are sales fundamentals you would apply in any sales roles and there are nuances based on the product/industry you are selling. I never got direct feedback regarding why they didn't move me forward in the process, but I did talk with a friend of mine who works there and she said they have seen people struggle who aren't already selling data related software.

Question 1
How would you build/prioritize a territory? What is your favorite aspect of your current job that you would want to continue in your next role.
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Databricks (São Paulo, São Paulo) in Dec 2025
Interview
RH inflexível, interrompeu o processo de contratação devido a preconceitos com relação ao currículo, não permitindo, sequer, uma avaliação direta com o candidato. O RH, através de uma verificação superficial das empresas listadas no currículo, deduziu um comportamento erroneamente, que seria facilmente esclarecido numa rápida conversa, mas preferiu eliminar um excelente candidato do processo baseado em conceitos pré definidos.
Very poor candidate experience with unnecessary steps. Expect you to interview like you’ve been working there for 1+ years. Prior to interviewing, I was told by other people that the culture was toxic. I got to see this in the SA interview. Being a top performing sales rep is not good enough. Expect to be grilled by the SA asking you to sell their platform to them.
