Ho presentato la mia candidatura online. La procedura ha richiesto 4 settimane. Ho sostenuto un colloquio presso Datadog (Madrid) nel mese di gen 2025
Colloquio
Very accessible and (as interviews go) enjoyable! The recruiters are very up front about the interviews, they prepare you for the content very well.
First up is a coding interview. They say to practice medium level leet code questions. I did it twice because they let me try it a second time after a health situation. They are 45/50 minutes on a problem, a leet code question but styled towards what datadog do, so there's a little more coding around the set up. First was string matching, second was sliding window.
Then you get through that to the final round of three interviews, one more coding, a system design and a behaviours and values. Coding is simialr to the last one (the advice is just practice leet code medium again), this one was more like a backtracking/dp problem with some interesting set-up. System design is standard, they zoom in on components and ask about tradeoffs. Behaviours and values centres around a project you have worked on and expalaining it really well, while demonstrating the values they are looking for (again recruiters prepare you really well for what will come up).

I really appreciated the care from the recruiting team during this interview process. The recruiter made sure to check in at each step and provide feedback (which is rare to receive in this industry). I was also very impressed by the kindness of all of my interviewers and their willingness to answer all of my questions.

Colloquio
Le premier entretien RH se focalise sur l'experience, les motivations, le fit avec l'offre. S'en suivent deux entretiens de coding (test d'algorithmique style leetcode). Suite à ça, un entretien de system design, dont l'objectif est de tester les capacités à concevoir l'architecture technique pour répondre à un problème vague donné en début d'entretien. Puis enfin un entretien sur l'expériences et les valeurs (discussion technique sur un projet + questions comportementales). Le process est clair, le talent acquisition manager m'a donné des conseils tout au long du process pour bien préparer les entretiens.
