The interview process at DataDome was thorough and clearly thoughtful, though longer than expected, with interviews sometimes spaced a couple of weeks apart. While the pacing made it a bit challenging to maintain momentum and excitement at times, I ultimately took it as a sign that the team was being intentional about timing and carefully considering how and when to introduce a new role. What consistently kept me engaged throughout the process was the strength of the people themselves — each conversation reflected a high level of intelligence, curiosity, and care for how the business operates.
The assessment portion was presented to a panel, and I remember even asking whether the group had previously been on a call together, as it initially felt less unified than other stages. That said, the interview pairings were very thoughtfully chosen, and as the conversation progressed, it became clear how complementary those perspectives were for the role and the types of decisions it would support. The discussions felt grounded in real challenges, not hypotheticals, which made the process feel substantive and authentic.
