Pros

Datadog is an exceptional company with a best-in-class product that truly delivers on its vision of unified observability. The founders are still deeply involved and consistently make strong, thoughtful decisions that benefit the long-term direction of the company. Compensation is very competitive, and the overall benefits package is strong. The office experience is also a highlight; great environment, well-run, and genuinely enjoyable to be in. There are a lot of smart, motivated people, and you’re constantly learning.

Cons

Like many companies transitioning from a high-growth startup to a more mature enterprise organization, there are some growing pains. Processes, roles, and responsibilities can sometimes be in flux as the company scales, which can create occasional ambiguity.
