I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Datadog (Denver, CO)
Interview
Short screening call, followed by Zoom interview with hiring manager, and the final interview being in person at their office. Overall the process was explained upfront and quick.
I was reached out to via LinkedIn (where job history is visible) and then told I would not be receiving an offer due to having less than 3 years experience.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Describe a customer or sale you are most proud of.
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.
