I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Databricks (San Francisco, CA) in Aug 2018
Interview
Very nice, very friendly. Phone Screening first then technical interview. Both interviewers were really nice and helpful. Technical interview is a problem which can progressively get harder. The interviewer will help you with hints if you are stuck. Overall great experience

Interview
I applied online and got a request to set up a 15 min phone chat with a recruiter a few weeks later.
I then had a 1 hour mostly technical interview with an engineer.
I was then given a coding assignment that took 6+ hours. I was given the opportunity to talk to an engineer to address any questions about the coding assignment, which was very helpful.
I was then invited to come onsite to their San Francisco office with all expenses paid to have 3-5 interviews in a single day. The interviews were a mix of behavioral and technical questions.
I was then requested to provide references. A few business days later, I was given a final update on the status of my application.
Overall, my experience was very pleasant and painless. All my interviewers were respectful, considerate, and seemed very intelligent. All the questions were fair. The process was quite fast and I had multiple opportunities to ask for it to be sped up if necessary. I am glad to have accepted the offer and have turned down multiple other amazing opportunities.
