Software Engineer Interview Experience

Process

I was asked LeetCode hard questions in the phone screen. One of these was already listed on the LeetCode page for Databricks. The second one wasn't. You will clear the interview if you've seen the questions before. It is still possible to solve the question if you haven't seen it, but you have to be quick.

I am personally not a fan of LeetCode questions, especially hard ones, and that too for the phone screen. There's a reason it's called a "phone screen". I am happy I didn't pass this round, as I wouldn't want to work at a place that lays so much emphasis on LeetCode.

I was sent an automated response that my application is not being considered anymore. Thank you, Databricks, for confirming again that you are searching for code-bots and not engineers.
