While I appreciate the opportunity to interview, I encountered several issues that I believe warrant attention:

1. Interview Preparation:

   • There was no initial call with the recruiter to discuss interview expectations.
   • The preparation document provided did not accurately reflect the actual interview content, which the hiring manager acknowledged as an error.

2. Communication:

   • Following the virtual on-site interviews, there was a two-week period of silence despite my follow-up emails.
   • After an additional interview was requested and completed, I experienced a complete lack of communication for four weeks.

3. Overall Experience:

   • The lack of consistent communication and follow-up has been disappointing, especially considering Databricks' reputation in the tech industry.
   • This experience falls short of the professional standards I would expect from a company of Databricks' caliber.

I respectfully suggest that improving these aspects of the recruitment process would greatly enhance the candidate experience. Specifically:

• Ensuring accurate pre-interview information
• Maintaining regular communication with candidates
• Providing timely feedback or status updates post-interview

Typical EM questions:

• Behavioral interviews
• System design
