Datadog Software Developer interview questions

HR phone interview then coding interview (1 hour): - 30 minutes of technical discussion about your previous / current experience(s). - 2 x 15 minutes of live coding test. You will share your screen and provide a working solution under 15 minutes twice with the language of your choice. Interviewers are pretty full of themselves, no real interest on the candidates.

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.
