30 minute call with non technical questions. The interviewer's headset was giving him problems so we did a video call which I was not prepared for. Nevertheless, I decided to take the video call. The questions were easy, more about my experience and what decisions or solutions, which I implemented, made a difference for the company. At the end of the call I was asked if the opportunity was something that I wanted to further pursue and I answered, "yes". We ended the call with our salutations and I quickly replied back to the recruiter on LinkedIn, letting her know that the call was finished. I had heard that interviewees were being "Ghosted" by Datadog, and not being given even a reply back when they made an inquiry. This is exactly what happened to me. The most unprofessional thing a company can do is ignore a candidate who expressed an interest, taking time out of their day to explore an opportunity that they (the recruiter), presented . If their recruiting practices are like this, imagine what working for the company will be like.

4-5 peer interviews over Zoom with peers, hiring manager, then a director. You’ll need to do a 3 hour tech quiz and then a final presentation. It’s a lot of work and time. I had nearly nearly 8 calls in total during the process and a 3 hour long tech quiz. Also had a few days to prep for the presentation. Was told I’d done well throughout entire process but “were moving in a different direction”. Would be nice to get feedback?
