Pros

Datadog is a good company in terms of product.

Cons

Management at certain organizations doesn't quite know what they're doing; the Datadog culture is dying because of senior leadership changes. In stead of promoting tenured people, they hire new people with significant higher salaries and cap the raise ( which is minimal). Salaries for the support role is lower than industry standards too and yet they are very cut-throat about performances and metrics. There's little internal mobility although they promise it. Once you get here it's stuck. With the technical support roles, they don't take measures to set customer experiences despite promising it for a very long time. I'm afraid Datadog has become the typical corporate trap in every single aspect.

Pros

Fully stocked kitchen, great co workers

Cons

Workload Work life balance is simply not a thing. Management drank the koolaid and will micromanage you. You will simply be a number here and always threaten to fire you or put you on a pip. New managers act like everything they do you have to do. Boston office was peak toxic
