Datadog Software Engineer Internship interview questions

Online Assessment (OA): Received a HackerRank link. Standard algorithmic problems. Leetcode Easy/Medium Recruiter Screen: A 30-minute call with HR. Mostly behavioral questions, going over my background, and checking my interest in Datadog. Technical Interview: - 20-minute Resume discussion. Deep dive inside a project you've worked on. Use STAR method. - 40-minute live coding session. The interviewer was friendly but expected clean code and good communication. 2 Leetcode Medium. - 10-minute discussion to wrap the interview and ask questions to the interviewer. Team Matching: Once you pass the technical bar, you meet with a specific team. It’s a mix of technical discussion and "vibe check" to see if you fit the team culture and expectations. The hardest part was the technical interview, the interviewer emphasizes how important the communication part is.

The process was very smooth and organized. It wasn't long with only two interviews and the communication was good between recruiter too. There was one behavioral and one technical, but before that you have to pass the OA.
