J'ai postulé via un recruteur. Le processus a pris 4 semaines. J'ai passé un entretien chez Databricks (Amsterdam) en sept. 2020
Entretien
There were 2 different rounds. The first round a question about merging lists with some given api was asked. Implemented the working solution correctly with given time complexity. In the 2nd round, another question about some array was asked which I later figured out was some standard geeksforgeeks trick question. Implemented the solution with required time complexity. Asked the interviewer if he wants to ask any more questions and he said no. After the 2nd round, I was said they don't want to go forward without giving any proper explanation. This is really unprofessional and in-ethical. Don't get me wrong, I've been rejected by interviews before, but in every one of them there were valid reasons, like I didn't solve this question correctly and this should be the correct solution or they couldn't apply for the visa currently, but rejecting a candidate when he solved both questions correctly and without any proper explanations is highly unprofessional .
tl;dr: Don't waste your time giving interviews for a unprofessional company. I should've come here before and read the other reviews before wasting my time. You'll not learn anything new from the interviews and they'll just reject you whimsically.

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

didn't make it past the first technical round. questions are decently challenging (ie: leetcode med/hard level difficulty), and can range from very mathy topics to bit manipulation, to dynamic programming. be prepared for all scenarios and all topics on leetcode.
