J'ai postulé via un recruteur. Le processus a pris 2 mois. J'ai passé un entretien chez Databricks
Entretien
Complete waste of time with 0 respect for its candidates
tl;dr of this post is - if you a recruiter, don't be like SA (his initials). If you are Databricks, you should be ashamed to have a recruiter like him.

I was reached out by "Technical Sourcer" from Databricks in June saying they expressed interested in me as a software engineer. I wasn't actively looking, but sure, I respond saying I am interested.
For two weeks, I replied a few times asking if they were still interested in setting up a time to chat, and then I get the following response:
"Apologies for not getting back to you sooner.
We had a couple of onsites for this role last week and are in the process of moving forward with both of them hoping to bring one of them on board. Alas, timing is everything in recruiting. I wish you the best in 2018, and look forward to crossing paths in the future"
And guess what, a month later I received this email, I get the SAME email from the SAME person saying they saw my profile and thought I would be a right fit. Are you kidding me? What do you think I am - your backup option?
Complete waste of time and total disrespect for its candidates.
If you are a recruiter, don't be like SA at Databricks. Not even sure if he's a real person since I can't find him on LinkedIn.

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.
