Mediocre leadership

Pros

Datadog as a company is doing great! It is a great software that is truly bringing visibility in one platform. CEO and CTO are the founders and they care about the product If you are in the office, lunch is great for the 3 days Even with hybrid mandate, it is really easy to still feel remote

Cons

TPS leadership is terrible and even worse is the TAM leadership team. TAM leadership is fully absent from the day-to-day work ICs are doing and it is very obvious that most managers are not technical and don't really understand the workload or what their team members should and shouldn't do.
