      I interviewed at Datadog

      Interview

      Process is similar to big tech: multiple rounds of interviews, algorithmic, system design and culture/values. At first I was impressed by the organization of the process, the recruiters help you prepare for the interview and give you tips. Although the interviews were not hard, the feedback you get after them is a bit strange, if you get feedback at all. As others have mentioned, they say you lack technical dept which I also found insulting. Feedback for the interviewers: don't assume someone is only valuable if they have the exact skills you're looking for, people come from different backgrounds with different technical experience that is not always processing zillions of data. A very small percentage of devs actually do work with the scalling issues you present, you're missing on talent by moving forward people who spent dozens of hours reading interview prep material.

      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.

      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.
