      Software Engineer Interview

      22 Apr 2020
      Anonymous interview candidate
      No offer
      Negative experience

      Application

      I interviewed at Datadog

      Interview

      Meh. Snappy recruiter who was in a good/bad mood at the flip of a coin depending on the day. But I stay professional and do the take-home assignment only to then be ghosted by the recruiter. In retrospect, I should have not done the take-home assignment; take-home assignments are a time sink and aren't transferrable to other companies. Companies only give take-home assignments because candidates put up with them. I see why they give them: it's arguably a better assessment of your skills than leetcode is, but your time is valuable too and spending a few hours for a reject isn't pragmatic for anybody. These assignments bias towards those without a job, without a family, or even without a life. And it's hard to look at a company positively especially when the interview process is subpar. Feel free to come to your own conclusions, this is just mine. Don't just look at my interview, though. Look at the other negative interviews here and realize the ratio is higher than most companies.

      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.

      Screening RH, qui mentor durant le process, puis deux rounds, le deuxième avec 4 test différents. Bon feedback tout du long. C'est fluide et le RH est là pour aider à préparer les sujets.

      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.
