I applied through other source. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Databricks (San Francisco, CA) in Feb 2022
Interview
After spending a considerable amount of time putting together a demo and slides deck, crafting a narrative and a message for a presentation and demo in a panel interview in a final 5 minutes meeting where the hiring manager showed up more than 5 minutes late, I only received negative feedback saying I wouldn't be able to communicate effectively with customers.
Who would want to work for a hiring manager like this?
It was humiliating to only get negative feedback and be treated like an afterthought.
I think with hiring managers like this Best Place to work for this company feels overrated.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
There were many questions which I thought I was able to answer as a professional to the best of my ability in a constructive and objective way.
I applied online and was contacted by a recruiter for an initial call. My background and experience were not aligned with the role, so we did not proceed to the next round.
Unfortunately, the interview experience was not very positive. The recruiter was late to the scheduled call, and the communication style felt somewhat one-sided and pushy rather than collaborative. I would have appreciated a more balanced and respectful conversation.
Multiple rounds of interview , take home assessment was not very tough . But panel presentation round was tough , it seems they want candidate who can wow them even though all rounds went fine .
I go the first phone call which went pretty well. Then I passed a first panel round on simple architecture. Did first round technical round, but never heard back again.
