Pros

The product is great, the people you work with are generally great. Benefits and offices are great.

Cons

Many functions have leaders from the startup days and have no experience running an enterprise the size Datadog now is, to the extent of gross incompetence and negligence. This is especially true in most business operations functions: HR, Legal, Travel, Real Estate and Finance. They’re incredibly frustrating to work with.
