      Site Reliability Engineer Interview

      28 Jul 2020
      Anonymous interview candidate
      No offer
      Neutral experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Datadog in Jul 2020

      Interview

      Typical recruiter meet and greet where they then scheduled an hour-long technical assessment with a senior engineer. Through a zoom meeting, we went through a little bit of my background like my most notable project. Then we went straight to a coding quiz on coderpad. There were two questions. They were simple data structure manipulation type questions that involved hashes and arrays. I got through the first one pretty easily, but stumbled a bit on the second one, and unfortunately did not complete it. After the initial solution, they expect you to explain the time complexity of your functions. Unfortunately for me, I have no practical/theoretical experience with big O notation, so I stumbled through that with a lot of "I would have to look that up" type answers. Overall it was a pretty okay experience, the senior engineer was cordial and gave leading advice if I got hung up somewhere while coding. However, as an industry, it's kind of sad we still evaluate technical skills through these leetcode and theoretical type scenarios. For someone that already has a job it's stressful to grind leetcode and memorize "Cracking the coding interview" in order to get the job you know you can do.

      Interview questions [2]

      Question 1

      A question about a list of string that you need to transform into a hash. Then explain the time complexity. Also, explain memory usage of the function.
      2 Answers

      Question 2

      A question about nested arrays with links to other arrays. You need to understand recursion to get the most optimal solution. Then explain time complexity.

      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Datadog (Paris) in Apr 2017

      Interview

      J'ai été contacté par un recruteur à la suite d'une recommandation. Il m'a présenté l'entreprise, le processus de recrutement, etc. S'en sont suivis un entretien technique au téléphone, un devoir à rendre ainsi qu'une demi-journée sur site, composée de 3 entretiens (coding, design, cultural fit). Le processus a pris moins d'un moins entre la prise de contact et la réponse positive. Toutes les personnes que j'ai pu rencontrer ont été très accueillantes, professionnelles et réactives.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Écrivez une fonction permettant de vérifier si les parenthèses contenues dans une chaîne de caractères sont équilibrées.
