      Senior Solution Architect Interview

      17 Sept 2025
      Anonymous interview candidate
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through other source. I interviewed at Databricks in Sept 2025

      Interview

      I would avoid this over-hyped company. They are just riding the momentum at the moment. They will fade out in few years and lay offs will start. After passing all the stages through tech interviews, NO feedback from them. After contacting them, they ask you to call them for a feedback! wow. Basically, they don't pay well, or have found some other friend for the job etc. Never seen a situation where you pass the interview stages and then a no (without any formal communication from them). I think the roles in UK are highly pressured from sales perpective and a lot of politics and pay is certainly not US levels. Wait till the sales fall and layoffs begin. - Initial chat with hiring mangers. - Chat with recruiter in UK- Code Signal coding test - can do in sql or any language. - 1hr+ tech fire and forget tech questions around big data and database techs including SQL. They will tell you well done etc. when you answer only to reject you later!

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      They wanted to know few things around big data and database technologies. And some Spark questions.
