      Pretty good place to work

      Sales engineer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      - Oli and ALQ are great founders and have a knack for being in the right place at the right time with the right product (the majority of the time) - DD is a product people want and are (generally) willing to pay for - Good WLB with the right teams - The office is a pleasant enough place to spend time (but I don't think the in-office policy is worthwhile). - The *vast* majority of the people who work here are good people. - I appreciate that Datadog never shelved equality initiatives because it's the right thing to do.

      Cons

      - The number of products has grown beyond our ability to cohesively unify them. At some point, our satchel was stuffed too full and the seams are showing - Some of the products have been a flop thus far (Security, Product Analytics) and we're on some savior complex to force customers to adopt them anyways - Our pricing is byzantine(!). We claim it's simple but it's not. 90% of the questions I get are about how things are priced or billed and nobody who should know does. - We index heavily on certain benefits and completely skimp on others (401k contributions?! Nah. Can I interest you in an NYC rooftop?) - Generalists will drown in such a loaded product portfolio - Generally lower tier compensation

      Good company, strict policies

      Customer success manager (csm)
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      - great company to work for - lots of innovations / new features that make it easy to upsell

      Cons

      - CSM is really just an account manager role. If you are not interested in selling, do not look into this job. - KPIs change constantly - Office time is strict (3x per week & you need to make up the days if you miss it)
