Pros

Customers love the Datadog products, and most of the engineers who I worked with were wonderful.

Cons

Its clear that management is not concerned about their people. Mid-level and senior organizational leaders are disconnected from the line workers. There is no effort to find out whats going on or build relationships with workers. Performance goals are opaque and change frequently, and employees are held against unreasonable and unclear productivity metrics. This is a dysfunctional company that does not value their people.
