      Software Engineer Interview

      12 Feb 2018
      Anonymous interview candidate
      New York, NY
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Datadog (New York, NY) in Feb 2018

      Interview

      If I had to describe this process in one word, it would be "loooooong". I was first contacted by the recruiter there in the middle of November, and the process finally completed mid-February, having taken almost exactly THREE MONTHS. First, I had a phone call with the recruiter. Then (about an hour long) a technical phone screen with an engineer. Then they disappeared for about a week and a half, so I thought they were not going forward. Then I get an email from the recruiter, pretending that she sent me some "coding challenge" earlier, which she definitely did not. So, she sends it "again". It's a fairly involved task (not terribly complicated or anything, just a lot of details to spell out), I had to spend, maybe 4-5 hours on it in total. I send my solution back, and they disappear for another couple of weeks. Then, they come back again, and say they want to bring me in for an in-person interview ... two weeks from now. I kinda insist that I'd like it sooner, so, they move it a week up. I spent four hours in their office, meeting four different people (plus one "shadow"). Technical questions were rather trivial, nothing interesting to mention. They kept asking me BS stuff, like "describe your ideal team", or "tell us what you are proud of", so that I had to repeat the same thing at least three times. 4 days later (wow, that was fast for a change!), I get an email fro them, notifying me that they decided to pass. Overall, this wasn't a bad experience (aside from the fact that it was three months long), but I find it particularly rude and insulting, that they wouldn't share any feedback with me, or give me a reason for their decision. I mean, after investing a significant amount of my time into talking with them, and working on their riddles, I would expect the common courtesy of sharing their thoughts with me in the end. I am sure that when they make an offer, and the candidate rejects, they expect an explanation ... yet, when the sides are switched, they feel it's ok for them to just tell people to get lost. I am not being bitter for having been rejected. If I did get an offer, I would probably not have accepted it anyway (especially, not after reading the reviews on glassdoor). I was just surprised to find this sort of behavior, that I'd sooner expect from the "old school" places like Oracle or IBM, that I specifically try to avoid for this exact reason. Overall, not pleased at all. Should not have wasted my time with this guys.

      I interviewed at Datadog (Paris)

      Interview

      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.

      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.
