I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Datadog (Boston, MA) in Jan 2024
Interview
Long but helpful throughout process. Strung me a long a little bit with hopes and feeling that I got the job just to get word that they had planned to promote internally the entire time.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Why do you want to be here?
What can you do to bring value to the company?
How often do you deal with escalations?
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.
