Intelligent people, bureaucratic leadership, and very slow promotion
Intelligent people, bureaucratic leadership, and very slow promotion
Smart engineers and a humble place to work. Good product and reputation.
Quite political and with top-heavy leadership and unrealistic, always cut-throat deadlines. Quite poor WLB. Slow or no career progression unless you are the lucky ones picked by founders.

Databricks Interview Experiences
Staff Software Engineer
Was referred by a Databricks employee. * Initial 30-minute recruiter call * System design technical phone interview * Onsite full loop interview (did not get to that; was rejected after the phone interview)
Staff Software Engineer
The interview process was well-organized and sensible. On-site was heavily organized around systems design, a really reasonable (& interesting) programming problem, and collaboration and behavioral effectiveness. The offer was presented very prompt
Staff Software Engineer
I applied online and was contacted by a recruiter. The first step was a 30-minute phone call with the recruiter, where we discussed my experience and the company. The next round was a 1-hour phone screen, which was a system design interview.
