      Engineering Director Interview

      Anonymous employee

      Accepted offer
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Datadog in Dec 2022

      Interview

      The interview process was clear and well described by the TA, no surprise! Even though it was a bit long (~6 stages), all the people I met during the process were kind and respectful.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Technical Background, System Design, Product Management, People Management, Case.
      Answer question
      Positive experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Datadog (Paris) in Apr 2025

      Interview

      A three-step process with 8 interviews in total: The first part was a screening, first with a sourcer, then with the hiring manager, with a possibility for the process to step after each discussion. Once those two steps were validated, you are proposed to move to a second step, which I would call the panel. Five interviews, one hour each, will evaluate you on people management, process management, product management, system design, and technical skills. You are supported by a recruiter throughout the process and are briefed on how to prepare best. Once you have done that, all interviewers will debrief together and decide whether or not you go to the third step, which is a take-home assignment in which you are provided a vague description of some problems the Datadog org is facing and asked to propose solutions. Once you have analyzed the assignment and have prepared a proposal, you are invited to present it to a panel of interviewers (usually, the ones you have faced during the second phase). The candidate who goes on top of this phase is then presented with an offer

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Lots of different questions obviously, here are a sample: - How do you motivate your team members? - How do you prioritize work for your team and how do you track work progression and achievement? - On what did you base your decision to go with the tech stack X rather than Y?
