I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Datadog (New York, NY) in July 2018
Interview
I started off with the phone screen and came into the NY office for a final interview with 3 recruiters . I really thought I clicked well with the recruiters and they told me that they would get back to me by the end of the week but i never heard from them. After I followed up with them, they eventually asked for my references and called all of them. I then did NOT hear anything after that. I followed up with them the following week and NO response. I
wish they would have at least told me that they were going forward with another candidate instead of completely ghosting me. Very unprofessional. It really shows what type of company Datadog is really like.
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Datadog (Boston, MA) in Jan 2025
Interview
I had a recruiter connect with me, very thorough and communicative and walked me through the whole interview process, provided great feedback and did a great job at setting up expectations. It was a phone call first, then a video interview, then another video interview where there were some problems to resolve
Recruiter screen call, take home test involving writing mock emails and scheduling, Hiring Manager interview video call, and then two in person interviews at the office with a sourcer and 2 of the coordinators
I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Datadog
Interview
The interview took more than 1 month. I put down that I require H1b sponsorship on my application. They didn’t see it and after an offer they rescinded it. It was such a waste of my time.
