I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Datadog (Singapore) in Aug 2020
Interview
Overall, the interview process was quite pleasant and straightforward. The recruiter based in ANZ was particularly helpful, as after each stage of the interview she kept me updated on the feedback and the next steps/outcome.
Stage 1: Phone screen with the recruiter
Stage 2: Interview with the hiring manager
Stage 3: Interview/chat with another Customer Success Manager from the region
Stage 4: Case study presentation in front of Customer Success Director and Hiring Manager (Customer Success team manager). Also required to present on either the time I had done an upsell or a cross-sell.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Tell me about the time when you had to solve a problem.
I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Datadog
Interview
Initial reach out from recruiter on Linked in. Scheduling app to find a time. They use Ring so your carrier may see it as spam and drop the call.
Good conversation but seemed like canned questions that were already answered in my resume. DataDog does record interviews as well so be aware of that.
Salary didn't align at all with my experience so I declined moving forward. Also requiring hybrid work and commute is not tenable at this stage in my career so overall we were very misaligned with my current title (SR role) to a front line manager role.
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.
