      Enterprise Account Executive Interview

      8 Dec 2022
      Anonymous interview candidate
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Databricks

      Interview

      I spoke with the recruiter who gave very positive immediate feedback and said the next step would be to schedule a 1:1 with the hiring manager. He then went on vacation without communicating that to me and did not respond to emails. I found out from an auto-reply. I back-channeled to the initial recruiter who reached out to me, and he introduced a new recruiter. She said they were passing on me for the Digital Native role because I was "not technical enough" even though that never came up in my previous conversation. Side note - I am a certified solutions architect for AWS and Azure, and have designed data lake and data pipeline solutions. How they missed that is beyond me. The new recruiter, realizing that I am extremely technical after a 5-minute phone call, said she would get back to me by the end of that day or early the next, but that never happened. Just an overall horrible process with no regard for your time.

      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Databricks (New York, KY) in Mar 2026

      Interview

      Not very good. Recruiter sent auto reply after a 1 hour interview and it felt like time wasted. I never got any feedback to know where it went wrong. I can’t say Im impressed.

      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Databricks (San Francisco, CA)

      Interview

      The hiring process was exceedingly long, arduous, and overly demanding, requiring unreasonable, extensive research and data preparation that should have been scope for the actual role. It was challenging to interpret virtually, featuring several tense, recorded one-on-one interviews, further disrupted by senior management no-shows at scheduled times. The overall environment felt perfunctory, leading me to believe they already had an internal candidate and were proceeding only for elimination or backup. Disturbingly, the final interview was held virtually in a large group setting—a decent format for a sales role with no mention of an in-person component. This included demands for super deep dives into technology areas, which typically require an engineering resource to provide credible data, putting the sales candidate in the awkward position of potentially having to speculate or "make things up." Furthermore, I observed signs of significant bias: the team was lacking in racial diversity (composed solely of individuals identifying as white/Caucasian) and made negative remarks in 1:1 meetings that suggested underlying ageism and racial factors, specifically targeting candidates from certain technology company or backgrounds.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Please describe Databricks' value proposition, explain its architectural differences from a competitor like Snowflake, and articulate the key competitive advantages that allow Databricks to win in the market.

      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. The process took 5 weeks. I interviewed at Databricks

      Interview

      A very good process. Expectations were clearly set, I had 6 meetings. First meeting with recruiter, hiring manager, solutions architect, RVP, hiring manager again and finally with a presentation to 6 stakeholders. The entire process was about 4-6 weeks from initial meeting to offer.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Asked about the databricks application architecture. Be prepared to go 100-200 level deep, with a clear understanding of the application.
