I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Databricks (München, Bavaria) in Sep 2025
Interview
Ich hatte ein mehrtägiges, siebenteiliges Interview bei Databricks. Die Gespräche deckten verschiedene Themenbereiche ab und beinhalteten sowohl technische als auch persönliche Fragen. Zusätzlich musste ich eine Präsentation vorbereiten und vor dem Team vorstellen, um meine analytischen und kommunikativen Fähigkeiten zu demonstrieren.

Question 1
Wie haben Sie einen Spark-Job optimiert oder wo haben Sie eine bedeutende Leistungsverbesserung erzielt?
I applied online and was contacted by a recruiter for an initial call. My background and experience were not aligned with the role, so we did not proceed to the next round.
Unfortunately, the interview experience was not very positive. The recruiter was late to the scheduled call, and the communication style felt somewhat one-sided and pushy rather than collaborative. I would have appreciated a more balanced and respectful conversation.
Multiple rounds of interview , take home assessment was not very tough . But panel presentation round was tough , it seems they want candidate who can wow them even though all rounds went fine .
I go the first phone call which went pretty well. Then I passed a first panel round on simple architecture. Did first round technical round, but never heard back again.
