Initial screening interview lasted a little longer than 20 mins, and took place over Zoom. Recruiter asked me about the experience on my resume, when I'd be available to start, and my expectations for compensation.

I had a 30 minute HR interview for a SDR role in Boston. I appreciated that Datadog provided discussion points for the call beforehand. Despite being prepared and having an overall productive conversation, I found the NYC recruiter to be beyond rude. When I inquired about company meetings (which wasn't on my list of questions to ask but while I was scrolling to my pre-prepared questions in my word doc, I nervously just asked about company/team meetings) she expressed her judgement to my question with 5+ seconds of obnoxious, very loud, intentional "coughing" that was unmistakably judgement and jumping to conclusions. I felt that the conversation had gone well up until this point. Recruiters have the power to make candidates feel uplifted or torn down during interviews - and this recruiter certainly succeeded in doing the latter. It's unnecessary and unfortunately a terrible look both for her personally and Datadog.
