Databricks requested a Code Signal general assessment score from me. They asked 4 questions, I would say Easy to Medium on LeetCode. 3/4 of my questions passed all test cases and 1/4 (Medium LeetCode) passed the unlocked test cases but failed the rest of the test cases because my runtime was too high so this is something to keep in mind. I'm surprised that they have chosen to use CodeSignal as the testing platform is not the best. I recommend taking some time to practice on CodeSignal before taking the assessment and think about runtime! Good luck.

Question 1
Find the number of ways to divide an array into 3 subarrays where the sum(subarray1) <= sum(subarray2) <= sum(subarray3) and none of the 3 subarrays are empty.
Recruiter called after I applied online on their site. Great call, met with the hiring Manager next. Now haven't heard back in 2 weeks, ghosted I guess. My professional experience with Databricks is limited. I spent lots of times with free edition, but didn't get to that point where I could show that.
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
