I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Databricks (London, England) in May 2023
Interview
Went through Recruitment, then manager, technical assignment and technical interview.
I quickly understood that on the same day of my technical interview another candidate accepted an offer.
In other words, I sent a weekend working on the technical assignment with simply no hope to get hired.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Give an example of infrastructure deployment you advised to a client.
first round was with the recruiter. did not get past that. Mostly because the experience didnt match. They are very precise on years of experience. They are very precise on years of experience.
Poor interview process. Were unclear about stages and mixed up the sequence of stages. I cleared the advanced stages first but didn’t clear the HM stage. A bit of a let down to both parties as it wasted our precious time due to misaligned expectations.
The hiring process consists of several stages: a recruiter interview, technical interviews, a hiring manager interview, a case study interview, and a technical assessment assignment to evaluate candidate skills and suitability in python and spark.
