I applied online. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at Databricks in May 2024
Interview
I had an initial interview - Phone Screening - where I solved LeetCode hard problem. After 2 weeks they responded that I passed the interview and that I'll be doing 4 more interviews to access my level:
1. Algorithm - 1 medium/hard LeetCode problem
2. System Design - Low level system design. Writing a pseudo code. Solving some database like problems (WAL, concurrency, hashing, log compression,...)
3. Coding - Given interfaces and empty classes, implement a solution for a problem. Problem is not hard and the main focus is on writing a clean code.
4. Behavioral - Classic behavioral interview with one of managers
I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Databricks (Belgrade) in Oct 2024
Interview
Initially, I received an email asking me to submit my availability for the next two weeks for a 30-minute recruiter phone interview. After passing the recruiter phone interview, I was again asked to provide my availability for the next three weeks for a technical phone screen interview. I had my technical interview approximately 10 days after the recruiter interview.
In the technical interview got a classical LC-style question related to graphs. The solution must work and pass all test cases. My code contained a bug and failed some of the test cases, and I ran out of time to fix them.
Overall, the interview process was amazing. Both the recruiter and the engineer I spoke with during the technical interview were very pleasant, and it was comfortable interacting with them.
