Ho presentato la mia candidatura tramite un'altra fonte. La procedura ha richiesto 2 settimane. Ho sostenuto un colloquio presso Databricks (Melbourne) nel mese di ott 2025
Colloquio
Worst interview experience ever !!
The JD involved Pre sales, and Tech design. Went to the interview and the guy started the conversation that usually his interviews are 20 mins. The questions asked in the interview process - OLTP, OLAP, How do you learn, how to distinguish security in prod vs non prod env. Very basic. I feel it’s a stage show and managers select their own reference.
Hiring should be impartial, conveyed the same to HR, and they confirmed Tech managers usually decide based on the previous work. I mean that’s why the CV is there for.
Colloquio
Around 5 stages- recruiter screen, take home in python or sql,HM interview, technical interview, case study presentation and then a director chat. Overall moves quite quickly and they seem to have a talented team.

Ho presentato la mia candidatura tramite un selezionatore. Ho sostenuto un colloquio presso Databricks nel mese di gen 2026
Colloquio
The process was very smooth, they provided reasonable motivations and feedback, and the recruiter was available for a short feedback call in the end. Have to say, not common in the industry

Ho sostenuto un colloquio presso Databricks (New York, NY)
Colloquio
Interview process was smooth, nice people. 1 HM round, 1 tech round on PySpark and 1 Presentation round. Databricks was not listed as a requirement, and HM said I wouldn't need it for the interviews. But, I was rejected after the presentation round because of less Databricks knowledge, which made no sense

Presentation panel was basically to sell Databricks to customers
