I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Databricks
Interview
5 stages: recruiter screening, hiring manager, code test, technical interview, technical presentation to panel.
I bowed out after the first round because the comp is not competitive (or at least they told me a low maximum number that falls more in line with a junior SA role). Sounds like they're a very hot company with many folks willing to take less money to work there -- and hey, more power to them if they are able to get adequate talent based on their hype.
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 4 days. I interviewed at Databricks (Londres, Inglaterra) in Nov 2024
Interview
Many steps involved in the process, I found it hard to commit the time needed so I opted out part way through. They really care about the kind of people they want in the company, hence the process being so thorough.
