I applied online. I interviewed at Datadog (Boston, MA) in Nov 2020
Interview
Started 2 Phone screens, one with the recruiter then the hiring manager. Then came the interview panel, presentation of 30 60 90 day plan. Interviewers were nice but hard to read.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Present your 30 60 90 day plan for starting at the business and leading the CS team.
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.
Normal process. I interviewed for 3 different positions within a year. Made it to the final round for 2 of them but did not get an offer. It was good practice for interviewing.
