Process

I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks.

  • 1/ Leetcode easy coding exercises
  • 2/ Live data analysis
  • 3/ Leetcode medium coding exercise
  • 4/ Hiring manager: present a challenging project.

Overall:

  • 1/ was python beginner level exercise
  • 2/ was not so challenging but gave a good overview of what the day-to-day is like and where the value sits at datadog
  • 3/ medium leetcode but the interviewer was willing to help - overall this was a good interview experience as it was a nice back and forth with a senior engineer.
  • 4/ was more disappointing as I felt gaslighted, unnecessarily challenged, and felt my work was voluntarily downgraded by the interviewer.
