Pros

- Good Pay - Strong Engineering Culture

Cons

- No Diversity in Leadership and Engineering - Too many new hires too quickly. People have mostly stopped trying to met others outside of their team. - NYC Office is right next to Times Square. Rush hour is the worst. - French/American cultural differences that are not discussed causing some problems. Paris holds the second largest engineering office.

Pros

Datadog is by far one of the best companies I have worked for in my 24 year career. The CEO is engaged and constantly works to get the employees a balanced work life atmosphere. Their benefits are above and beyond most companies today. They offer fitness reimbursement , discounts and classes for yourself and family. Health wellness programs as well as other resources for more challenging issues. Internally it’s busy. The company is growing and that is great! Yes, your career will be challenging but will be appreciated and compensated. Everyone works as a team as if it was their own business and looks out for one another. On boarding was amazing and being done remote for now. They provide you with all the resources you need to work remotely until the office reopens. I feel valued and appreciated there. Looking for learn to a happy healthy career at Datadog!!!

Cons

No 401k company match or pension. Option to work remote partially for those who commute once returning to office.

Pros

One of the best places I have worked in my 20 year professional career. I read some of the negative reviews and I can see where some folks are coming from but can only speak to my experience. Great selling opportunity- check. Support from all teams to sell - check. A collaborative culture - check. Great teammates - check. It’s a challenging work environment, and for those looking for a challenge and potential rewards, it’s a great company to be a seller. Not easy, but a big opportunity.

Cons

The challenge of trying to maintain a high growth rate can burn some folks out. It’s not an easy sell and you have to really put in cycles to be successful. Believe it or not, it’s not a sales-driven organization, which as a seller you will need to adjust to if you come from an org where sales runs things. Customer then Product then Sales in that order in terms of focus.
