Solicité el puesto a través de un captador. Acudí a una entrevista en Databricks (Seattle, WA) en nov 2024
Entrevista
A quick screening with a recruiter and then a scheduled phone interview through Google Meet. Then 4 rounds of final interviews. The first 2 rounds of coding are pretty much like Leetcode problems but both are from their internal question database. Then 1 round of cross-functional interview with a manager, traditional behavioral questions like how do you resolve conflicts with colleagues or your manager. Then 1 last round of system programming including multi-threading knowledge and coding. You don't have to give compilable code, but be as precise as you can for the syntax.

Implement a file writing function that maximizes throughput while minimizing latency and guaranteeing file durability.
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.
