I applied through an employee referral. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Datadog in Feb 2024
Interview
The overall candidate experience was amazing. The recruiter was very responsive and insightful throughout the interview process. They moved me through the interviews relatively quickly compared to other companies. The entire process from beginning to end took less than one month. This was the interview process:
- Initial Screen
- Manager Screen
- Face-to-Face Interview
- Take-Home Project
- Executive Interview
After putting me through five rounds, the recruiter stated they made a business decision to close the role. This was the only negative experience as they didn't decide this before advancing me through all five rounds of interviews.
