I applied online. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at Datadog (Boston, MA) in July 2019
Interview
All the Datadog folks I met throughout the process seemed genuinely excited about their work and were on the ball with responding to any questions with impressively complete answers. Out of all the technical recruiters I was in touch with (5 of them including a few FAANG), the recruiter at Datadog, Lesley, was by far the easiest to work with. Since company culture was an important value for me, she made sure to arrange a lunch date for me to meet the team, several video calls with Datadog engineers, and reached out to invite me to a local Python meetup hosted by Datadog. Yes, this is a glowing review.
The technical components to the interview included, in order: a live coding phone screen, a take-home assignment, and on-site which had one architectural interview and one more live coding exercise.

Other Software Engineer interview reviews for Datadog
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.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Knapsack problem with coins, solved via dynamic programming
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.
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.
