I applied through an employee referral. The process took 5 weeks. I interviewed at Datadog in Aug 2021
Interview
The recruiter called me several days after applying online to book the first interview with him. He described the interview process, talked about the company and what I was looking for.
The second interview was a online coding interview. Two exercices which could be easy and medium on leetcode.
Then I had a take-home project which took me about 6 hours to complete.
After that 4 different interviews :
- Another coding interview with a real-world problem to solve
- Hiring manager interview
- Distributed system design interview
- System interview
Finally I got no offer for the job I initially applied on but they asked me to discuss with another team leader who was looking for someone like me. The job he proposed me suits me even better than the one I applied on in the first place and I accepted their offer.
Overall, the process took about 5 weeks but was very smooth. A complete feedback was communicated between each round. The recruitment coordinator made a great work between all the different rounds. Everybody was very friendly, professional and seemed to really care about the candidates.

One knowledge interview and one technical interview afterwards. Knowledge was fine. During the tech one, the interviewer was not listening. The problem was a standard one. Got rejected after second round.

Screening RH, qui mentor durant le process, puis deux rounds, le deuxième avec 4 test différents. Bon feedback tout du long. C'est fluide et le RH est là pour aider à préparer les sujets.
El proceso constó de tres fases principales. Primero, apliqué online a un puesto de trabajo disponible. Posteriormente, pasé a una entrevista técnica de aproximadamente una hora, enfocada principalmente en el desarrollo, integración y securización de APIs. También discutimos estrategias de despliegue, monitorización y gestión de recursos en la nube utilizando el ecosistema de Azure. Por último, realizamos un ejercicio conversacional sobre buenas prácticas de código y arquitectura. Fue un proceso fluido y el equipo fue muy profesional.
