I attended the interview for Spark Technical solutions engineer. The Interview process is difficult one to crack and a lot to learn. A total of five technical Interview rounds with a Spark Coding test and the final round is behavioral. Also, was required to provide three references .Throughout the process till onboarding, HR person was helpful in guiding through each steps .

Was contacted almost a month after I initially replied, recruiter directly scheduled a 1:1 zoom with the hiring manager (no phone screen). Interviewer was late to the meeting, did not apologize, did not introduce themselves, and was fairly rude. They spent a lot of time asking about why I had left my previous company (which is totally valid), but kept prodding about it despite already providing thorough answers; in fact, they spent more time asking about my former company than they did talking about Databricks or my resume. It took a lot of prompting from me to ask them about their workflows and team culture, and they did a very poor job of selling the role. Honestly it seemed like they wanted to leave the company and join my former one by the end of it. Did not hear back at all afterwards, which is fine because I was already disinterested by the time we wrapped up our conversation.
