      Don’t believe the hype.

      Technical support engineer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      The company is currently HIGHLY profitable but at what cost?

      Cons

      This popularity likely won’t last given the treatment of employees and short sided vision of how to operate and retain clients.

      Some Growing Pains

      Senior software engineer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      1. Quickly growing company with a great product. 2. Fair compensation and benefits

      Cons

      1. Lack of a proper engineering career path - There are not many engineering levels which means that there are Senior Software Engineers with a difference of 10+ years of experience, all with the same title. Getting promoted to a Staff Engineering level can be extremely difficult as compared to other companies. 2. Not remote-friendly - While they do hire for remote roles much of the engineering teams are office based and it can be difficult to integrate as a remote engineer. 3. Lots of junior engineers - The ratio of junior to more senior engineers is far greater than in many other places where I have worked. I have to do a bit more hand-holding at Datadog.

      Wonderful training but unclear comms structure

      Commercial account executive
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      - excellent colleagues - good managers and leaders who will make changes - very good training and sales methodology

      Cons

      - poor account delegation - accounts can only be held up to 4 months (upsell to month4) - poor comms structure (capped and not beneficial for large deals)

      We appreciate your insights and are glad to hear that you've had a positive experience with your colleagues and training programs. Thank you for your feedback on where improvements can be made in our account delegation processes and communication structure. We do understand the importance of both in achieving success, and we take your feedback seriously.
