Pros

Datadog is a very great work environment. Across the organization you will find some of the best people of their domain. More importantly, the company has done a great job of making sure that they are hiring enthusiastic and considerate people. People are kind and look out for each other, while also being quite fun. There is great feeling of community at the company.

Cons

The company has been in crazy growth mode so many people (as I was) can be joining to do a new job that's never been done before. This unstructured potential is exciting for those that want to work through it, but can be super challenging if you aren't proactive or rely on a lot of outside support to figure out what to work on. I also think that there is a great culture of supporting any and every employee but there could be more done more specifically around specifically supporting diverse groups and populations.

Pros

Interesting and challenging work. Great coworkers across all teams - folks here are smart, kind, and helpful. The company genuinely cares about its people, providing strong work/life balance and benefits/perks (catered meals, healthy snacks, weekly fitness classes, etc.)

Cons

Scaling quickly, some growing pains to be expected. As long as you are generally adaptable you will be fine.
