      Software Engineer Interview

      24 Mar 2021
      Anonymous interview candidate
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at Datadog in Jan 2021

      Interview

      First, they scheduled a 30-minute interview with the recruiter. The recruiter gave some detail about the company. The recruiter said that they have a single pipeline for the interview process. It is possible to have an offer for a different position and team based on interviewers' feedback. The recruiter was in a hurry which made me nervous. There are at least four steps in the interview process. 1. Tech screening with a live coding exercise. 2. Take-home assignment 3. 3-hour interview, which consists of live coding exercise, take-home assignment review, system design interview. 4. Hiring manager interview One week later, they scheduled the tech screening step with an engineering manager. At the interview first 10 minutes, we talked about my past experiences. After that, the manager asked two coding questions. I solved one without any problem. I spend some time and made multiple iterations to solve the other problem. The manager told me that my solution would fail with extreme cases. Also, this manager was constantly huffing and puffing and was not listening to what I was saying. The manager seemed to be forced to attend the interview. One day later, I received an email that I failed in this step, and they wish me good luck with my job search. I asked for some detailed feedback, but of course, there is no answer. I think they expect a perfect solution in the first iteration.

      I interviewed at Datadog

      Interview

      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.
