      Data Engineer Interview

      Anonymous interview candidate
      New York, NY
      Declined offer
      Positive experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Datadog (New York, NY) in May 2022

      Interview

      The interview process was a little long but they were incredibly friendly, helpful and motivated. They were very interested in getting to know me while also helping me understand more about the role and teams.

      Data Engineer Interview

      14 Nov 2025
      Anonymous interview candidate
      No offer
      Neutral experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I interviewed at Datadog

      Interview

      Too many steps, three separate technical interviews, each requiring LeetCode-style problem-solving and a full system design discussion. The process feels overly complex and repetitive. On top of that, it’s not even clear which specific position I’m actually being interviewed for, which makes it difficult to prepare effectively or understand what the expectations are. The lack of transparency and the heavy interview load make the entire experience unnecessarily exhausting.

      Positive experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Datadog

      Interview

      First round with recruiter - a few behavior questions and resume Second round with 2 engineers - 15 mins on resume, past projects, 45 mins for 2 coding challenges Third round - take-home assignment I did not do well at 2nd round but they still offered me 3rd round b/c what I am doing at my current role is very similar to the role they are recruiting for. My submission for take-home assignment did not meet their expectation. However they got back to me with detailed feedback. In all, an interview process with great experience, even though I did not make it in the end :)
