Thank you for taking the time to share this feedback with us. We're glad to know that you're enjoying the growth opportunities at Datadog. We understand that shifting to a hybrid model after full-time remote work may be an adjustment. However, we do believe that a hybrid workplace experience is the best option to encourage the innovation and collaboration that happens in person. Where there are extenuating circumstances, we highly encourage all to partner with their manager and People Business Partner to identify a workable solution.

Pros

* People are helpful, friendly, and smart * My area of the company has good work/life balance (though this depends on team) * Company has a very strong brand and is a recognized leader in the space * You are allowed and expected to have strong ownership of your product area * Great autonomy - you can decide how to build your product

Cons

* Most teams have on-call rotation and some teams have a much bigger burden than others * Lots of things are in flux as the company has been growing quickly * Many responsibilities are pushed down to teams that really should be handled by common/infrastructure teams * Development can be slow because development infrastructure is lacking * Stock compensation depends on the market and in a downswing (like now), that can be brutal
