Interview Experiences & Insights
I had an opportunity to interview with Datadog for a Senior SDE position, where I encountered a coding question on Query Log matching and a System Design question on designing Reddit r/place.
I interviewed for a Senior Frontend Engineer role at Datadog in Paris. The process involved DSA, React UI coding, and behavioral rounds. Despite receiving positive feedback and proceeding to team matching, the offer was rescinded due to internal alignments.
I had a technical screen with DataDog in India where I was asked to implement a function to count packets with a specific label within a sliding window.
I had an initial coding screen for a Mid/Senior position at Datadog in USA, where I was asked to implement a solution similar to rm -rf. I solved it using a recursive DFS approach and then optimized it to an iterative BFS approach to handle OOM issues for wide file structures, successfully moving to the next round.
