I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Datadog in Apr 2022
Interview
Several interviews with hiring manager, other CSMs, and finally a "technical presentation" that the hiring manager specifically described as a "customer business/sales meeting". However, it was meant as a technical demonstration to show off your tech skills. A massive miscommunication which cost me the job.
I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Datadog
Interview
Initial reach out from recruiter on Linked in. Scheduling app to find a time. They use Ring so your carrier may see it as spam and drop the call.
Good conversation but seemed like canned questions that were already answered in my resume. DataDog does record interviews as well so be aware of that.
Salary didn't align at all with my experience so I declined moving forward. Also requiring hybrid work and commute is not tenable at this stage in my career so overall we were very misaligned with my current title (SR role) to a front line manager role.
I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Datadog (Singapore) in Apr 2026
Interview
Was initially approached by the recruiter directly. The conversation was standard with standard questions, however it appeared that the questions were not relevant to my experience and the recruiter seemed irate at questions asked and had an overall condescending demeanour.
Recruiter was late. Just a prescreen call. Did not progress passed this point as there were stronger candidates in the pipeline. She was pretty unresponsive and seem unorganized about the whole thing.
