HR screen: standard behavioral questions, advised to solve leetcode hards to prepare for the technical stage
Technical 1: Leetcode hard (most difficult technical interview I've ever taken, even compared to FAANG internships - be prepared to solve and optimize a leetcode hard)
Technical 2: DSA and optimization (medium level, focused on complexity and efficiency, Pretty standard data structures/algorithms question with some reasoning and optimization + logic walkthrough)
Difficult interview
Application
I applied online. I interviewed at Databricks
Interview
Online coding challenge on cod signal. You have 80 minutes to complete four coding questions. Need to review arrays, strings and maps. Two of the questions are easy, and two are hard. You need to share your screen at all time, and camera on.
Recruiter reached out, scheduled call, then phone scree, 2 techs , 1 sys design, debugging, manager round., total 5. LC question, lc tagged helps so do that i guess, and learn around those concepts and patterns would be helpful,
recruiter call then technical. recruiter was very nice and asked general questions on resume, and they followed up for the next interview pretty fast. technical was one round back to back, not too difficult
