Lots of steps in the process has me thinking that they were more interested in working on the interview process over actually hiring candidates.
Step 1 - Phone Screening
Questions:
Your background and how it can be applied to the Sales Development role?
What do you know so far about Datadog's product?
What sparked your interest in working here?
Why do you want to build a career in sales?
Step 2 - Phone Call with manager
Datadog research / understanding (what do we sell / who do we sell to / what problems do we solve)
Your ability to answer questions while providing relevant examples from previous work experience, internships, schools projects, classes, etc.
Step 3 - Second Phone Screening
Same exact questions
Step 4 - Virtual Panel
Part 1 - Meeting with 2 SDRs. Very basic SDR questions like what makes a good SDR, How do you overcome objections, etc
Part 2 - Meeting with an SDR Hiring Manager
Questions like whats a goal you're proud of, what qualities make a good SDR, etc
Part 3 - Meeting with a Senior SDR Manager
(Same exact questions)
