SWE Intern applicants have rated the interview process at Databricks with 4 out of 5 (where 5 is the highest level of difficulty) and assessed their interview experience as 100% positive. To compare, the company-average is 50% positive. This is according to Glassdoor user ratings.
Here are the most commonly searched roles for interview reports -
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)
The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Databricks (Mountain View, CA) in Oct 2025
Interview
Went straight into 2x 1 hour round coding interviews followed by a 45 minute behavioral interview with the hiring manager. Coding questions were standard OOP design and LC questions. Interviewers were all very nice and helpful during the process.
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,
