Entrevista
I applied for the Security product position in France and Madrid, which required relevant work experience, which I have. I qualified for the interview process and had two rounds of interviews. The first one was with a recruiter based in Washington, and the second one was with the design manager based in France, who conducted the technical interview. For the technical interview, I prepared a comprehensive presentation and delivered it with confidence. However, the recruiter seemed distracted and kept looking at another monitor in front of him. He did not ask me any questions during or after the presentation, nor did he give me a chance to ask him anything. He ended the interview very abruptly and said goodbye. I followed up with a thank you email, but I did not receive any reply or feedback. After 24 hours, I got a rejection email from the recruiter, saying that the design manager had felt (note, felt) to pursue other candidates who were more suitable for the role. I asked them to provide a clearer reason, but I did not receive any answer.

It was a Zoom interview, but they said it was okay to keep the camera off. It lasted a bit under 20–30 minutes. The interviewer was friendly and created a good atmosphere, explaining everything clearly. They also mentioned that relocation support would be provided. I think I answered well and the overall conversation went smoothly, but I didn’t receive an offer afterward.

I got a lot of good feedback from the team but ultimately did not get the role. The recruiting team here for design is very thorough, but one hiccup I experienced was the phases involved with the interview were not outlined to me accurately, or maybe I misunderstood the steps. The team there is very sharp and they will ask detailed questions about your process. Make sure your case study, and app for critique are polished.

Datadog une grosse entreprise avec beaucoup de process et de silos, et ça se sent aussi dans le process de recrutement.
Le procès a duré presque 2 mois avec de nombreux interlocuteurs (recruteurs, coordinateurs, membres de l'équipe) et j’ai parfois passé deux semaines sans retour après un entretien.
Tout au long du process, j’ai eu l’impression qu’on me demandait de me donner à 120 %, de me dépasser à chaque étape. Mais Datadog ne semblait pas faire beaucoup d’efforts pour me donner envie de les rejoindre, à part offrir un challenge.
Globalement, le processus a été assez lourd. On m’a demandé de présenter 2 fois mon portfolio : une première fois brièvement au manager et une seconde fois en détail à l’équipe. Et malgré un portfolio déjà bien fourni, Datadog a insisté pour voir des projets d’entreprises spécifiques qui ne figuraient pas dedans.
Malgré tout ce monde, process et guidelines: il y a un décalage entre ce qu’ils demandent et la réalité, que ce soit en termes de cadrage d’entretien ou d’attentes. Et ils n'ont même pas l'air d'être tous alignés sur ce qu'ils attendent d'un designer.
