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 (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.
