Me postulé en línea. El proceso tomó 4 semanas. Acudí a una entrevista en Datadog (New York, NY) en sept 2024
Entrevista
Initial phone screening with a recruiter, followed by one round of behavioral interview with one of the support managers, then a 2 hour take home assignment on Hackerrank with questions about basic SQL queries, shell scripting, Docker installation and integration of the Datadog agent on Linux- if you're playing around with the agent beforehand make sure you have another email account to register for since the initial installation instructions for other OSes disappear if your email is already tied to a trial account.
The final round of interviews are in-person, one round being another behavioral with some more technical support team members, a technical interview round with 5 questions total where you pair troubleshoot an Agent integration with some support managers acting as a client, and a final interview with the director. Each round is approximately 30-40 mins.
The hiring experience was okay and didn't get an offer, and the recruiter did offer to provide feedback over the phone which was surprising, but it was pretty generic with no negative feedback in the interview, but it seems like they ultimately went with someone that had more background experience in TSE, so future applicants be wary of that.

En total son 5 entrevistas, junto con una asignación para la casa. No te confies porque a pesar de llegar a la última fase puedes ser fácilmente descartada si no respondes las preguntas del director que es quien toma la desicion final
