I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Datadog (Boston, MA) in Apr 2020
Interview
A recruiter reached out to me and spoke with me about the company and asked if I was interested. I had two further interviews from there. They asked a lot of questions about the type of sales that I had been involved in in the past and how I could apply the skills to the future. We also spoke a lot about how the company is evolving during covid 19.
I had 2 interviews one with a recruiter over zoom for 30 minutes and another with a sales manager for 60 minutes. It took them a week to schedule which was annoying. People were very direct and just asked question after question after question going through a list, nothing really special about the process.

What do you like about the job?
I applied online. I interviewed at Datadog (Denver, CO) in Mar 2025
Interview
Unprofessional and rushed. Didn’t seem like the interviewer really cared to get to know me or my previous work experience. The questions were extremely cookie cutter and seemed more like a formality than actual interest in getting to know me or find the right fit for the role.

Interview
Recruiter was extremely unprofessional. Very obvious that they was messaging colleagues and not paying attention to my responses the second after they asked a question. Waved to multiple colleagues during my interview as well. I asked for feedback and their answers were not at all of what I said. Really disappointed as only heard great things about the company and the recruiter specifically but unfortunately did not work out for me.
