I applied online. I interviewed at Databricks (Seattle, WA) in Apr 2026
Interview
online application -> recruiter call within one week -> virtual onsite of 4 rounds (coding, algo, system programming, tech fit) -> rejection call within one week. Two interviewers weren't friendly. Problem descriptions are long, with multiple follow-ups. Recruiter gave feedback in rejection call, telling me which rounds I didn't pass.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
deep dive about one of my project for almost one-hour
First round technical screen. Hard but interesting problem to be solved. The interviewer is patient and guides me through the entire interview process. Decent people! After passing first round tech screen, there will be a super day consisting of 5 back to back technical and bq.
technical interview, two round with live person on coding pad with detailed follow up, interviewer is nice and go through solution very carefully. Got rejected a few days after the interview.
