Contacted by a recruiter on LinkedIn who discussed experience and details of the company and interview process.

From there, I was moved onto a technical phone screen conducted via Zoom and CoderPad, wherein I was asked two average-difficulty algo questions.

Then, I was moved onto a round which required me to do a take-home project. This project required me to write a load monitoring application from front to back, and I was given approximately 2 weeks to complete it.

Once the project was reviewed, I was moved to an onsite wherein there was a system design round, an algo-based question, and a behavioral interview.

They take these interviews along with the take-home project to decide on an offer.

I received an offer around the same time as a couple of other companies and went through a couple of rounds of negotiation over the course of 2 weeks.

Ultimately, they put a deadline on the offer, and I was deciding up to the last minute between DataDog and another company.

Then, suddenly, 30 minutes before the offer deadline, the recruiter called me and said they were rescinding the offer because some VP in engineering didn't like the way I solved an algo question during the onsite, and therefore, I didn't deserve the offer I got.

Was not the best experience overall, but the recruiter was very helpful throughout the entire process.
