Feedback is part of the Datadog culture and we strive to seek out and implement change in order to foster the best workplace environment we can for every employee. We will take back this feedback as we see tremendous value in incorporating guidance from these reviews, as well as from the responses to our anonymous, internal employee surveys to help solve for challenges that employees face. Our team of People Business Partners are also always available for confidential conversations on ways to better foster that open and inclusive culture, especially as we scale and experience the inevitable growing pains together. Additionally, our Talent Development team runs regular manager trainings across the company to better arm our leaders with the right tools to successfully grow their teams and team members. We will continue to have all people leaders participate in these sessions, as we've seen the impact that these trainings have had on teaching great leadership practices moving forward.

Pros

Culture is amazing. company resources are amazing. You really are apart of a community.

Cons

you have to sell your soul to the little purple dog to hit their ridiculous KPIs. Constant stress. It never stops. They claim to care about your mental health and well being, but they do not actually. They care about that stock price and making sure their team hits the KPIs that are honestly unrealistic. Teams find success one way or the other with these methods, but their reps have to put in their blood, sweat, and tears to get it for them. Reps work very hard and they are not getting paid enough to do what they are doing on a daily/weekly basis.
