The question has **1 interview experience**. ## Interview experiences ### Datadog · 6 days ago **Role:** Product Manager · Senior / L5 **Category:** System Design > "The interview process is well structured and organized. The interview guild was helpful. In the system design part, I think I should've considered scale as a constraint. I also could have spoke more explicitly about the trade off. I felt that my answer did not stood out because of above. I suspect that answered generically, should have dig deep into detailed design trade off more."
