I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Datadog
Interview
3 step process with two phone interviews and one in person. A lot of the managers and people I talked to are very uneducated about product knowledge and sales in general. I got a fraternity like vibe from the company that hires people who can't really do the job. That is why no one hits their quota over there. waste of my time
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Why Datadog? What do you know about Datadog? Why sales? Describe a product.
Submit application, call screening then interview with 2 managers including a roleplay at the end if all goes well then PAID in person final round at whatever office you're interviewing for
First Round - 30 mins zoom call with Recruiter - Camera on. Pretty simple, they’re just screening you to see if you are the right fit. Understand that you need solid answers that reply to the question in detail. Have them learned off perfectly. I’m disappointed I didn’t get the role as I have an abundant amount of sales experience but I guess not enough technical software knowledge but then it makes you think.. This is a sales role, not a software engineer role so I’m assuming they’re looking for a Unicorn who has both sales and tech skills. Overall it was quick. Second round Cold Calling Role play in person. Final Round Conversation with Director. Overall lovely experience but be prepared.
