Interview process is very lengthy. It took almost 2 months (8 weeks). Granted this was a referral
1) Recruiter Screen: 30mins. Pretty basic questions on your background, salary expectations
2) Hiring Manager: 30mins-1hr. Discussions around your resume
3) Technical Screen: 30-45mins. Technical questions are databases, Data Lake, Spark, etc
4) Take home Assignment: 1 week due date. Can be easy or difficult depending on programming experience. SQL etc
5) Leadership Interviews: 30mins 1:1 with Sales and SA Leadership. Mostly a Fit interview
6) Panel: Standard presales presentation.
They do need to conduct better qualification earlier on whether the candidate is the correct fit for a role or not. Databricks interview process is an investment from both the interviewer and interviewee side

I would avoid this over-hyped company. They are just riding the momentum at the moment. They will fade out in few years and lay offs will start.
After passing all the stages through tech interviews, NO feedback from them. After contacting them, they ask you to call them for a feedback! wow. Basically, they don't pay well, or have found some other friend for the job etc. Never seen a situation where you pass the interview stages and then a no (without any formal communication from them).
I think the roles in UK are highly pressured from sales perpective and a lot of politics and pay is certainly not US levels. Wait till the sales fall and layoffs begin.
- Initial chat with hiring mangers.
- Chat with recruiter in UK- Code Signal coding test - can do in sql or any language.
- 1hr+ tech fire and forget tech questions around big data and database techs including SQL. They will tell you well done etc. when you answer only to reject you later!
