Pros

Great place to work. Smart people, amazing product, great employee benefits. Could pay more, but they give lots of RSUs. You'll see negative reviews about the company, but it's usually disgruntled former employees who weren't well-fit and managed out because the job/ product/ sales process is HARD, but if you're a strong salesperson and hardworking, you'll thrive at Datadog.

Cons

Lower pay than industry average.
