J'ai postulé en ligne. J'ai passé un entretien chez Datadog (Séoul) en oct. 2025
Entretien
5 stages (South Korea):
1. Zoom call w/ a recruiter. Just expectations for the job.
2. HackerRank OA. 4 questions - Bash, AWS, DataDog Agent installation, Multiple Choice
3. Hiring manager screen. Zoom call, 45 minutes. Questions about your experience and motivations.
4. Onsite culture fit interview. Two interviewers, an engineer and a manager from the team. 45 minutes. Further questions about yourself and how you'd handle challenges.
5. Onsite technical round. Peer-troubleshooting an example scenario w/ one of their engineers acting as a customer.
Made it till the 4th round. The culture fit round was confusing. On the surface it looks like they're checking if you're a good fit with the team or not but it felt like a stage for the team to directly screen out applicants when they find a better one. I thought I had a solid conversation with the team and answered all the questions to the best of my ability. My experiences were suited for the job as well but to some degree it is just luck here. Be aware.
Questions d'entretien [1]
Question 1
Tell me about a time you had to handle some criticism
I applied through LinkedIn. It did not that that long to come back to me. They reviewed my resume and cv, sent me an email to have a phone screening interview.

En total son 5 entrevistas, junto con una asignación para la casa. No te confies porque a pesar de llegar a la última fase puedes ser fácilmente descartada si no respondes las preguntas del director que es quien toma la desicion final

I applied online, and a recruiter from Singapore reached out by email. They outlined the process as: 1. Hackerrank; 2. Interview with hiring manager (Functional background / projects / tools, Why support engineering role?); 3. Interview with other engineers on the team (Scenario based, How to handle multiple tickets, How to deal with difficult customers); 4. Live troubleshooting round (Role play how to act -- Ask questions on what they’re facing right now, Documentation provided during interview); 5. Director connect (Career goals, How datadog can help).
