Candidatei-me por indicação de um funcionário. Fui entrevistado pela Datadog (Bengaluru) em abr. de 2026
Entrevista
Interviewed at datadog and unfortunately had a disappointing experience with the recruiter. From the beginning, the interaction felt dismissive and biased, and I got the impression that my candidacy had already been judged before the conversation really started.
I asked a few standard questions about the company and role, including revenue-related questions that are publicly available since Datadog is a public company. The response I received was unnecessarily defensive and came across as belittling rather than informative.
I understand recruiters have difficult jobs and busy schedules, but professionalism and respectful communication matter a lot in candidate experience — especially at a company with such a strong reputation. Sadly, this interaction did not reflect that standard.

Entrevista
The recruiter contacted me on linkedin. After agreeing to an interview, I shared my availiability and interview was scheduled. On the day of the interview, the recruiter wrote me an email asking to reschedule about five minutes before the interview. I agreed and we scheduled the interview for the next week. On the day of the reschedled interview, the recruiter did not attend the interview and never responded to my email. Profoundly unprofessional and horrible representation of Datadog. I suppose I dodged a bullet.
The first was a recruiter screen, followed by a programming assessment and then a hiring manager call - behavioral, mostly checking on your selling skills. Did not proceed further after that.
