I applied online. The process took 5 weeks. I interviewed at Databricks
Interview
1. Quick phone screen with recruiter
2. Interview with hiring manager - more a resume walkthrough and talking about interests
3. Take home coding assignment. Given 3 options, pick 1. Not too difficult
4. Soft skills interview - behavioral
5. 1 hr presentation. Given a case to prepare for. More of a discussion on your proposed solution. Hiring manager helps prepare.
6. 3 back-to-back 1 on 1. 1 conversational, one technical (ML, Spark, SQL), last one a fit interview
Overall difficult but smooth process. Everyone was super helpful along the way and they really want you to succeed. Recruiter was very responsive.
Multiple rounds of interview , take home assessment was not very tough . But panel presentation round was tough , it seems they want candidate who can wow them even though all rounds went fine .
I go the first phone call which went pretty well. Then I passed a first panel round on simple architecture. Did first round technical round, but never heard back again.
