I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Databricks in Sep 2018
Interview
I made it up to a phone screening and a one hour technical interview. All interviewers were very nice and polite.
Technical Interview consisted of chatting with the interviewer for roughly 30 mins (describing company, why you want to work there etc...) and a 30 minute coding challenge.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Given one big string consisting of multiple SQL queries, split the string and put all queries into a list one query at a time.
Interesting questions but the interviewers did not seem super interested and all were pressed for time. One of the interviewers (I think the most senior one) was the most interesting/interested to talk to. Phone screen, technical screen, then 4 final rounds (2 technical, 1 SD, 1 behavioral).
Technical screen (algorithms question with coder pad) and then final round with behavioural, coding, algorithms and systems design. They provided information about things like the final round interview contents before the interview.
