Pros

Great pay and perks. It's great to work alongside top talent with innovative ideas, who genuinely want to do good work

Cons

Diversity and inclusion is a major issue here. Leadership lack openness and transparency on the topic. Unwillingness to codify competencies and career paths in a meaningful way makes career development difficult.

Pros

The pace at which we are growing and innovating makes it so every day I am learning something new. It's impossible to be bored or complacent at this company and I've learned more in the last 3 years than I have in my entire career. Not to mention, the leadership team is one you genuinely want to work hard for. I plan to work at Datadog for a long time and see it at a defining moment in my own career!

Cons

Definitely experiencing some growing pains in terms of internal process and paths to promotion.
