First was the HR screening call. Asked basic details about my experience, explained about the role, expected compensation. It was a 15 min call, post which the recruiter moved me to the Hiring Manager round. Hiring Manager: It was a good discussion about my current experience, expectations from the prospective job. The round went very well, and I was told the recruiter will be reaching out to me for the next step, which was a hands-on assessment based on Spark. Weeks went by, I reached out to the recruiter they said the further process will take place post the holiday season (the process had started a week before Christmas). It was January, I reached out again. This time I get an automated response saying they won't be moving forward with my application. I was expecting a bit more transparency from a company like Databricks.

Generic questions about the profile, experience. I guess they are looking for specialist ins specific areas rather than generalists. They asked me about specific data areas expertise in data and analytics spce
