Datadog reviews

- Pay is ABYSMAL, well below the market rate - They will do everything in their power to undercut you with title and pay. They are stern and do not negotiate much no matter how relentless you are. Best in class + well respected product so they can get away with this. - Lower level management is inexperienced and will shun your career development requests. High expectations for work and want you to do this for the above stated abysmal pay. - Onboarding is exhaustingly long and frankly does a poor job of preparing you for real-world experiences at the company. - Inexperienced ICs, if you have a background in the industry you will be educating a lot. Definitely fun to teach folks, but very time consuming. - NO company mobility. They like to sell themselves as if they have this. Too many gates until options like this are available, frankly making it near impossible to move around. - Attrition is the worst I have ever experienced at a company. - High demand for knowledge... again with little pay. - Rampant micromanagement with Sales Managers. Baked into culture here on the Sales floor, and it bleeds into adjacent roles. - Expectation to mainline the corporate kool aid. Constructive feedback is seen as an attack for a company that could do no wrongs. - In office expectation is strictly tracked. 3 strikes your out policy. Don't know when you've got a strike til after the month. - Unlimited PTO is a scam, type of company where you hardly take vacation. Also baked into the culture. - Limited collaboration in this role. Reflects culture and bonus pay as a SE. - Not a lot of cross team/org collaboration, things are very silo'd here. - Criticism is reported, not viewed as actionable. - Little to no organization or standards on how work is done. Everyone has their own approach, and limited sharing on vital information. - Did I say horrible pay?

They expect a lot from you on an execution front - also tooling is less than what it should be for a company of this size
