Process

Great interview experience from start to finish. The recruitment team are transparent and communicate with you at each stage.

The on-site interview is a four-hour workout: two coding, one design, and one past project deep dive. I liked all of the interviewers and felt that they were advocating for my success throughout the interviews. The coding questions are not your typical LeetCode puzzles, which is nice. It is still a challenging interview, though, and you will be required to think fast and code with minimal errors. Another interesting aspect is that Datadog enables execution in Coderpad, so use that to your advantage.
