Senior Software Engineer Interview Experience - Spain
Process
HR screener
Friendly recruiter explaining the interview details, the company, and the benefits.
Coding I interview
Large CoderPad exercise to do in 30 minutes. (Actually, there were two parts, but the recruiter didn't explain correctly.) I was rejected because I didn't have time to start the second part, and my time complexity skills were not good enough for the senior bar.
Questions
HR: Brief introduction. What are you looking for in Datadog?
Coding I: Code a sliding window function to sum 3-point coordinates with a specific k size.
