Initial call with a recruiter, going through some admin, things, and getting information about the firm.

1. Tech call with engineers. This could be LeetCode-type algorithms. In my case, it was more focused on Java internals.

2. Take-home task. You are expected to complete this in 3 hours, which is a bit hard. I can imagine that some candidates take longer and don't really admit it, but surely they are prepared for this. So, aim to take the exact time.

3. Algo interview that actually makes sense.

4. System design.

5. Hiring manager round.

Explain your previous project's architecture.

How did you handle receiving very negative feedback?

Algo question related to Datadog's UI.

Fairly standard system design for an internal tool, then scaled to a lot of people.
