I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Databricks (Amsterdam) in Sep 2022
Interview
Applied via Linkedin, got the OA to solve within 2 weeks. I've been asked 4 questions and I solved 3 of them in optimize time and space complexity and couldn't even write 1 line of code for the last problem. 2 problems were leetcode easy array problems, other 2 were 2d array problems and were leetcode medium . Even though I solved 75% of the OA I still got rejected.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Not going to reveal the questions but make sure you can solve 2d array problems.
Typical: recruiter call, 2 technicals, final behavioral. Know how to be collaborative and quick. The coding rounds aren’t always traditional leetcode so know how to write clean, structured code (deisgn problems on LC with intentional solutions will help).
Overall, the process was fairly typical. It started with an initial phone screen, followed by back-to-back technical interviews that focused on problem-solving and core concepts, and concluded with a conversation with the hiring manager to discuss experience, team fit, and expectations for the role.
Just a few technicals and HM round which involves a project deep dive and behavioural section, LC was med-hard in difficulty roughly. Make sure to do LC tagged for the best chances
