      Solution Architect Interview

      7 Jun 2021
      Anonymous employee
      Accepted offer
      Positive experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 months. I interviewed at Databricks in Apr 2021

      Interview

      The recruiting and interviewing process was one of the most thorough and meticulous I have ever experienced. It was also one of the best run and kindest - yes kindest. It was about 4 months from first contact from a recruiter to the official hiring. Part of that delay was on me and my availability. The initial vetting included a meeting with the hiring manager to discuss the role, and a technical interview to confirm my background. Following that was an at-home coding test. You could take unlimited time to return the work - I timeboxed it and crunched it out in a weekend. Following that was a full day including a technical presentation to the team to confirm presentation, teaching, and soft skills, followed by additional interviews with about 6 team members. The entire time I felt welcomed by people who were like me, and took sincere interest in me. They were flexible to accommodate my schedule, and followed up on all my questions and concerns. This was also by far, the most diverse, strategic-minded, and exceptional technical interview panel I have every encountered, and that was wonderful.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      The coding exercise included all aspects of python, spark, and sql within a Databricks notebook, as well as some ML. The technical presentation was on a subject of your choice.
