I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Datadog (Boston, MA) in Jun 2024
Interview
The interview process involved:
1.) phone screening with recruiting team/HR
2.) teams call with hiring manager
3.) technical skill assessment
4.) interview with two other managers
5.) onsite interview
I was involved in steps 1-4, then got a rejection notice after step 4. The process up until this point took 2-2.5 months; however, this was primarily due to the HR person taking several weeks to respond for each round.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Question 1 - Integration Not Working
I’m not seeing the metric system.disk.directory.file.bytes in my Datadog account. I’m trying to monitor our application directory and I have installed a Windows Datadog Agent onto our environment. This is what we have so far for the integration:
init_config: instances:
- directory: "C:\Users\projects\prod-application"
I know I saved the configuration, directly after saving it I then checked the platform, and I’m still not receiving the metric. I tried uninstalling the Agent and setting up the integration again, but it tells me:

Can you let me know what I’m doing wrong so I can get this integration up and running?
