Databricks Software Engineer interview experience

It had three questions, but they were far harder than I expected, especially for something meant to be an internship process. The problems leaned heavily into dynamic programming, and the kind of answers they seemed to expect were lengthy and careful—hundreds of lines wasn’t unusual.

In another assessment experience, it was similar timing and format: a recorded OA with a 70-minute limit and four problems. The mix included bit manipulation and graph problems, and those sections were where I burned the most time, which made pacing feel critical. I remember feeling like the test wasn’t just
