I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Datadog (Denver, CO) in June 2025

Question 1
How would you deal with an upset customer? What steps are you going to take to try and calm them down and understand what the issue is?
I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Datadog (Bengaluru) in Sept 2024
Interview
The interview process is fairly simple. The HR conversations were not upto the mark in my opinion, she imposes and does not respect your seniority and experience.
The HM was nice, the peer interview was pretty basic, situational questions, challenging customer, describe yourself, etc etc
The panel is what I didn't like, also because I expected the CSM role to be adoption specific but it was all numbers, very sales specific

Question 1
Challenges and accomplishment, how did you tackle those.
