While I appreciate the opportunity to interview, I encountered several issues that I believe warrant attention: 1 Interview Preparation: ◦ There was no initial call with the recruiter to discuss interview expectations. ◦ The preparation document provided did not accurately reflect the actual interview content, which the hiring manager acknowledged as an error. 2 Communication: ◦ Following the virtual on-site interviews, there was a two-week period of silence despite my follow-up emails. ◦ After an additional interview was requested and completed, I experienced a complete lack of communication for four weeks. 3 Overall Experience: ◦ The lack of consistent communication and follow-up has been disappointing, especially considering Databricks' reputation in the tech industry. ◦ This experience falls short of the professional standards I would expect from a company of Databricks' caliber. I respectfully suggest that improving these aspects of the recruitment process would greatly enhance the candidate experience. Specifically: • Ensuring accurate pre-interview information • Maintaining regular communication with candidates • Providing timely feedback or status updates post-interview
