I applied online. I interviewed at Datadog (New York, NY) in June 2021
Interview
- Recruiter call
- Portfolio review with one of the design managers
- Onsite (1 - portfolio review 2- Whiteboard Challenge 3- App Critique 4- Collaboration)
- Team match assessment with one of the design managers
thorough, and very professional. I believe 5 rounds total. I was not able to make it the entire way through the process, but I managed to have 2 rounds of interviews. It was overall very enjoyable and low stress relatively.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Tell me about a data heavy product you designed for and how did you measure its success?
I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Datadog in Oct 2025
Interview
The hiring manager was great, he asked thoughtful questions and stayed a little longer to talk about the company and the team. Comms were fast, and I appreciated all the feedback I got.
I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Datadog
Interview
It felt disconnected and badly fun. I gave up halfway through their "white boarding" / see how you deal under pressure step.
Second interview was a bunch of questions about work environments you enjoy which were basically impossible to answer if you have worked multiple places.
Interviewers had only worked at datadog and it showed. Had a start up head offer in hand stopped caring.
