I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Datadog (Boston, MA) in Feb 2025
Interview
They rescinded my offer after a long interview process. 1st was a screening, then in person with the SDR managers, then a call with the director. I passed all of them, but then they made me interview AGAIN with another manager. I got the offer and signed, but they rescinded my offer because I could not "properly fill out the background check" meaning they wanted 7 years of work history WITH documentation (offer letters...who keeps that stuff??) and so they rescinded my offer and were EXTREMELY rude about it when I asked questions.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
what kind of company would you try and sell datadog to and why
I applied online. I interviewed at Datadog (Amsterdam)
Interview
3 Rounds
first round with hiring manager - quite basic, behavioral/fit intended questions
second sales case/exercise with 2 account execs + some behavioral questions (probably toughest)
Third Round - final interview with the senior manager, can be pushy
I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Datadog
Interview
rejected after recruiter round. The recruiter round was mainly about interest in the company and why sales. Only one behavioral question was asked. I thought I did well but apparently not because I didn't make it past the first round. It's such a shame because I am a big fan of their product and when they asked what their company does, I talked for so long because there was so much to talk about
The interview was very casual and informative. They offer a packet to study from, however, during the actual interview, only around 5% information on the packet was probably relevant. Basic interview questions under STAR format.
