I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Databricks in Feb 2022
Interview
I was reached out to by a recruiter at Databricks, went through the phone screen and then met with the hiring manager. Everything went relatively smooth to that point. The hiring manager then told me the recruiter would reach out with next steps (whether they would move me forward or not). I sent a follow-up email to the recruiter just to let him know how everything went. I followed up mid-week the following week to get an update and still have not received any sort of response. At this point I assume they're not interested in moving me forward but not responding to my emails and effectively ghosting me is incredibly rude and disrespectful.

Interview
The interview process is long, but very well organized and fair. The expectations for each interview are communicated clearly and every interviewer was very polite and honest. If I had to design an interview process in the future I would use the process I went through here as a template.
