Interview process

The process was pretty straightforward, basically just Leetcode-style technical questions. The final behavioral round was with an engineering manager and he was very interested in my past internship experiences. Basically all of his questions related to my professional experiences, not to my class or personal projects.

Tips from the candidate

I would just say to brush up on your past technical experiences, especially noting what your impact was.

Company culture

Big engineering culture, lots of ownership. I think Databricks has high expectations of all of their employees even interns, and staying late was par for the course.
