Candidate report, summarized by Dataford

I had a structured path through the early filters: I passed the manager screen, then completed an SQL assessment and a non-technical technical screen.

The difficulty ramped up at the end because the presentation round became the decider. While the earlier steps felt manageable, the final stage demanded deep product differentiation knowledge, including details like Unity Catalog versus Purview.

I was rejected after the presentation, and that contrast stuck with me—the process felt fine until the moment they evaluated how well I could speak to the specifics of Databricks’ product positioning. I left feeling like my core technical screening performance wasn’t the full story they were judging.
