J'ai postulé en ligne. J'ai passé un entretien chez Datadog
Entretien
I was chased by three different recruiters for months while I was not interested in a new job. When I got interested and wanted to move forward they started to be non responsive in situations where I was waiting for them. Very unprofessional, I needed to repeat the same things several times in different calls. Also, huge roaming costs incurred during the recruiting process due to a last minute change on their end end they wouldn’t help me get that expensed. I have never experienced such a disrespectful recruiting process elsewhere

Question 1
Recruiters are trained to qualify your profile very well still it sometimes isn’t enough for you to not waste you’re time
My interview experience was a complete waste of time. The recruiter simply talked at me, rhyming off what felt like an autopilot script, with very little effort to actually listen to anything I was saying.
After that, the process was nothing but automated email triggers from their ATS. Nobody checked in, nobody made sure I understood the next steps, and nobody seemed remotely interested in whether I was happy with the process. It felt like I was just a number and that the focus was more on hitting interview scheduling quotas than actually assessing candidates properly.
To finish it off, I received an automated rejection email with zero feedback. If they genuinely want to attract strong AEs into the organisation, they should seriously revise this process.

3 phone calls, one hour long in person interview, 1 hour long zoom call. Such a waste of time, especially having to take off of work in order to interview with them. Seems like they definitely string you along and make the interview process as long as possible.
Professional process and helpful recruiter. They will provide you some materials to prepare. But during interview, the co-interviewer was quite rude. Giving pressure to candidate and even showed disrespectful. Main interviewer was good tho.
