I applied online. The process took 5 weeks. I interviewed at Datadog (New York, NY) in Jan 2019
Interview
Contacted by a recruiter on LinkedIn who discussed experience and details of the company and interview process.
From there I was moved onto a technical phone screen conducted via Zoom and CoderPad wherein I was asked two average difficulty algo questions.
Then was moved onto a round which required me to do a take home project which required me to write a load monitoring application from front to back, was given approximately 2 weeks to complete this.
Once the project was reviewed I was moved to an onsite wherein there was a system design round, algo based question, and a behavioral interview.
They take these interviews along with the take home project to decide on an offer.
I received an offer around the same time as a couple other companies and went through a couple rounds of negotiation over the course of 2 weeks.
Ultimately they put a deadline on the offer and I was deciding up to the last minute between DataDog and another company.
Then suddenly 30 minutes before the offer deadline, the recruiter called me and said they are rescinding the offer because some VP in engineering didn't like the way I solved an algo question during the onsite and therefore I didn't deserve the offer I got.
Was not the best experience overall but the recruiter was very helpful throughout the entire process.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Create a simple web application that monitors load average on your machine
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.
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.
