Pros

I feel supported at Datadog, it feels like there's always something new to learn. My team is amazing; everyone is friendly and always ready to help with anything I need. I also really appreciate the benefits and PTO policies. Although I’ve only been here for three months, I’ve noticed that everyone who’s been with the company longer is happy, speaks highly of the job, and isn’t looking to switch companies. That’s definitely a good sign! Looking at my past professional experiences, both in and out of tech, Datadog is by far the best place I've worked!
