      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Good benefits, good pay and generally nice people

      Cons

      Very money grubbing with customers. Very proud of the fact that after customer's AWS bill the Datadog bill is 2nd biggest spend for companies.

      Free lunches and snacks, but poor pay and culture

      Graphic designer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      - Free lunch three times a week, though there have been occasional food poisoning issues. - Fully stocked kitchen with a wide variety of snacks and beverages. - Great coworkers

      Cons

      - Compensation for graphic designers is below market compared to similar roles in tech, which makes retention challenging. - The “unlimited PTO” policy is misleading in practice, with an unspoken cap of around 20–25 days. - Brand & Creative leadership lacks strong design expertise, which is reflected in inconsistent design direction and decision-making. - Although transparency and collaboration are emphasized, there is a noticeable gap between messaging and reality—employees who raise concerns or push for improvements are not always supported and may face backlash, creating a culture of fear that discourages open dialogue and favors obedience over thoughtful contribution. - Overall, design does not appear to be a priority, and designers’ expertise is often overlooked. The environment tends to favor aligning with executive preferences over thoughtful design decisions, making it difficult to grow or produce high-quality work.
