Pros

I was working in Datadog for more than a year and I had the opportunity to be promoted after 6 months thanks to my hard work. - The workplace culture is great, there is a lot of time spent making sure peoples day to day experience is the best it can be by providing snacks, massages, etc. and the office is amazing in Dublin 2 city center. - Everyone is very friendly and always make time to help you when you’re in need. - Great training and development opportunities. - You get a sense that it is a company that is going somewhere, there is always a drive to be bigger and better than before. - Really interesting Sales challenges each quarter - Great management for the South Europe team – The manager doesn’t hesitate to jump on a deal with you if needed, NO micro-management, 1to1 each week and she has a great knowledges on the market.

Cons

- Process to get the expenses back is long but we do Saving :) - You need to have a strong motivation and be proactive if you go to AE position – quarterly target are high for Europe and because DD is pre IPO, you can feel some pressure about your KPI's.

Cons

-Initially while company was scaling and growing things were haphazard-is improving day-by-day -More platform specific training needed -Training on certain things like CRM admin, Sales tools etc. -Weekly learnings can be protracted-should be more concise

Pros

There's a lot that Datadog is doing right: a product that customers love; strong brand (marketing, content, events are all high quality); smart, kind employees; transparent; making investments in people (manager training has been going on for the past year, Udemy); benefits are very strong - among the best you'll find; a culture that respects life outside work.

Cons

As with any company that is growing at the rate that we are, there are definitely some things that either break or that are needed which aren't in place yet. There has been a significant investment in scaling up the People Operations function (which used to be almost entirely recruiting), so now there are HR resources for employees and managers. We continue to have a lot of inexperienced managers, but as mentioned above, the company is getting them training.
