Interview
It was probably one of the most drawn-out interview processes I’ve ever gone through. I applied for the job in early May and had an introductory call. After multiple rounds across 6 interviewers, they would ghost and then tell me I’m still a strong candidate. HM went on pto for 3 weeks and then set a meeting with me to discuss changes to the role. Even said they wanted to confirm the changes before an offer was made. I was then once again ghosted and then received a canned rejection email after three months of an interview process. It's not respectful of candidates' time to string them along for that long without even providing a final resolution or feedback.

Question 1
What are some learnings you've taken away from running a program?
It was a really smooth process to interview with Databricks. Had a first round interview with a Program manager who the role will be reporting to. Questions focused on behavioral and also a short SQL exercise done via Docs. Second round was with another Program Manager (more senior), and it was a 1 hour case interview, explaining how you would prepare for the development of a product roadmap. (Not actually creating the product roadmap, which was what I prepared for, but what you would do ahead of time).

Interview
Interviewer was the lead Program Manager of the organization she was building up. She was late, unprepared, and at the end, even rude. Left a bad feeling coming out of the convesration.
