Pros

Corporate culture, benefits, growth opportunities, transparency, excellent corporate citizenship/values, actively supports communities around office locations

Cons

The closest thing to a downside is the constant challenge. Employees are often thrown into the deep end of the pool. This is mitigated by the supportive culture and strong emphasis on work life balance. Be prepared for a tired brain at the end of the workday.

Amazing Company

Pros

When we were in the office, we had catered lunches, fun events, and all around positive vibes. Now that we are working from home, Datadog has done a fantastic job of supporting its employees (physically, mentally, and financially) through tough times. People here work hard but are also encouraged to take personal time to avoid burnout (especially with the recent situation), so great work/life balance. Love the people and the culture- it's a great place to work!

Cons

The company is still sorting out ways to handle rapid growth and implement employee feedback, but they have really stepped it up in the past year! The company is improving every day so I don't have much to critique

Great office, terrible culture

Pros

The perks of the office we’re great from the snacks to drinks and tampons they provided in the women’s bathroom. Great health insurance! Provided catered lunches 3x a week but always had leftovers for the other 2 days.

Cons

Terrible (to no) growth possibilities. Very political office (you need to play the game/or have the right person like you). No training. Management was not qualified to lead the team. Team lead was very rude and gossipy. Poor working hours, you’re expected to work late nights, weekends and during PTO.
