I applied online. I interviewed at Databricks (San Francisco, CA) in Dec 2019
Interview
The process began with a phone screen with the recruiter which was followed by a technical phone screen with an engineer which was followed by an onsite with several interview sessions asking leet code style algorithm questions on the whiteboard.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Questions asked were leetcode style algorithm questions.
Had an initial recruiter screen for a Software Engineer position. The call lasted around 15 minutes and covered the usual ground: my background and experience, motivation for applying, current role, and salary expectations. The recruiter also gave a clear overview of teams, the product, and the full interview process ahead.
1. Phone interview with HR.
2. Technical coding question using coder pad. Have to implement from scratch.
Interview process was very fast and recruiter was friendly
Question was little vague but it seems to be leaked a lot on the internet

Why Databricks?
Past experience.
Projects you have worked on
didn't make it past the first technical round. questions are decently challenging (ie: leetcode med/hard level difficulty), and can range from very mathy topics to bit manipulation, to dynamic programming. be prepared for all scenarios and all topics on leetcode.
