I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Datadog (Lisbon, Lisbon District) in Jan 2023
Interview
It started with the first contact with the recruiter longer an overview of the company, their mission, culture, and how the whole interview process onwards would be divided.
I unfortunately didn't go until the end, but it had a lot of stages.
The first was a code challenge more focused on logic thinking, the second was a code challenge more focused on frontend work, the third (and last for me) was focused on thought process in terms of thinking of visual solutions for their platform (something they already have but it was just a way to see how I would approach the same scenario). At the end of each phase I was given some time to ask questions directly to the interviewer.

Question 1
Givin' the use cases A, B, C (can't recall the specific scenarios) from the client, how would you approach the situation to present a visual solution?
One knowledge interview and one technical interview afterwards. Knowledge was fine. During the tech one, the interviewer was not listening. The problem was a standard one. Got rejected after second round.

El proceso constó de tres fases principales. Primero, apliqué online a un puesto de trabajo disponible. Posteriormente, pasé a una entrevista técnica de aproximadamente una hora, enfocada principalmente en el desarrollo, integración y securización de APIs. También discutimos estrategias de despliegue, monitorización y gestión de recursos en la nube utilizando el ecosistema de Azure. Por último, realizamos un ejercicio conversacional sobre buenas prácticas de código y arquitectura. Fue un proceso fluido y el equipo fue muy profesional.
