Software Engineer Interview Experience

Process

A friend put me in contact with a recruiter. This recruiter scheduled, rescheduled, flaked, lost my contact information, and called the wrong number, among other issues, for about five weeks before I gave up and stopped responding to emails.

I am puzzled why a recruiter screen would take this long just to schedule. I am able to arrange same-day screenings with other companies in town.

In the time it took Datadog to mishandle this process, I completed about ten other interviews and received multiple offers.

This company's Glassdoor reviews seem accurate from the outside; they are growing so fast that they can barely keep it together.

I am no longer interested, but it likely doesn't matter.
