I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Datadog (New York, NY) in Dec 2025
Interview
The process while the recruiter was involved was good but then the hiring manager went rogue and that's where the process felt very unregulated. She would schedule calls with me without warning that they would be interviews and even did 4 zoom calls with 4 references only to then not provide me with an offer.
I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Datadog
Interview
Got a referral and did the recruiter screening. The next round would be the meeting the hiring manager but not sure what the rest of the process is like afterwards.
Straight forward questions but the attitude from both the recruiter and hiring manager were unpleasant. They sounded extremely bored and uninterested during the interview. Both hung up on me really quick.. One of the most hostile interviews ever
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
-Tell me about yourself
-Describe a time you encountered a problem and how you got over it?
