      Software Engineer Interview

      28 Jul 2021
      Anonymous interview candidate
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Datadog in Jun 2021

      Interview

      Everything started with a recruiter phone screen. After the recruiter phone screen is a tech phone screen where they ask a fairly easy question then onto a more difficult. After the tech phone screen is a 3 hour take home assignment. After the first tech screen, I was impressed by their process as I was informed the full verbatim feedback from the interviewer. This was actually extremely helpful and neat. The problem came after the take home assignment. I spent the full time on the take home assignment, where they mention something along the line of "we go through the submission and read everything you put in there!", only to get ghosted afterwards. This experience went from great to horrible. Fairly unprofessional for a recruiter to get you to spend time interviewing, then not have the courtesy to even follow up if things didn't go well.

      Question 1

      General algorithms. Tech phone screen was 1 easy problem then onto a harder problem.

      I interviewed at Datadog

      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.
