Datadog Phone Interview Tips

Hello! Does anyone know what the Datadog phone screening is like? I know it's algorithm based, but do they ask for any specific topics? What is the level of difficulty? Any tips appreciated! Thanks #datadog #swe #interview #engineering #software #swe

I’m gonna guess they’ll ask about arrays, hashmaps, stack, or queues.

One of the easiest phone screens I’ve ever encountered. Think Leetcode easy, just be careful to make sure you understand the problem

Yeah, because it’s so easy, you can get rejected over petty reasons. Even though our coding interviews are easy, I rarely see a bad hire.

So is it’s on purpose then? Interesting. Out of curiosity, what are these petty reasons you see people get rejected for then? DataDog had some of the better engineers in the industry when I interviewed with them, curious as to what filters you all use.

Stupid question Is a phone screen over actual phone call and not video call/screen share session?
