I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Datadog (New York, NY) in Sept 2024
Interview
Went through a few rounds over zoom, relatively standard behavioral questions. Came in person for a panel interview for my 3rd round (3 rounds back to back). After panel round got rejected but no feedback.

Question 1
How would you describe yourself in 3 words in the context of working with different teams? (How would cross-functional teams describe you)
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Datadog (Denver, CO) in Jun 2025
Interview
First step was a phone screen with a recruiter. Basic conversation about experience and background and the recruiter shared information on the role. From there I met with the hiring manager. I didn’t move forward after that.

Question 1
How would you deal with an upset customer? What steps are you going to take to try and calm them down and understand what the issue is?
I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Datadog (Bengaluru) in Sept 2024
Interview
The interview process is fairly simple. The HR conversations were not upto the mark in my opinion, she imposes and does not respect your seniority and experience.
The HM was nice, the peer interview was pretty basic, situational questions, challenging customer, describe yourself, etc etc
The panel is what I didn't like, also because I expected the CSM role to be adoption specific but it was all numbers, very sales specific

Question 1
Challenges and accomplishment, how did you tackle those.
