      House of cards ready to collapse

      Pros

      The original value proposition still applies, for IT monitoring that is more granular and real-time that what the cloud providers offer.

      Cons

      Company organization is a disaster. The CRO brought in his former team and decimated the upper and middle Sales management. His previous company purged under-performers in preparation for their IPO; Datadog inherited their low-performers, who were all out of a job. Datadog products and acquired companies' software are connected by spaghetti code -- it's not sustainable. Perhaps great for a short term play (under 6 months), a disaster for 6+ monthos.

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      -A lot to accomplish means ability to stretch: I've done things here that will shape my career in the future -Products are top notch and disruptive, company is putting focus into staying ahead of the curve -We're moving into a new stage of our lifecycle as a company, so most of the risk of joining a startup is behind us, but with all of the same startup perks -There are some great leaders here that I've learned a lot from, and our CEO is incredibly transparent -Growing like crazy, this can be awesome if you're in a department where you can see a clear career path

      Cons

      -Still some growing pains regarding org + how we change as we scale -If you joined to be in a startup environment, we're moving out of that phase of growth into an enterprise saas company -The crazy growth can be a con if you're not flexible and can't deal w change

      Great product, great leadership

      Pros

      Datadog is a pretty rare combination of great product, great people, and very principled leadership with a clear vision of what the product should be and where the market is headed. Executives definitely hold everyone to high standards but the result shows in the product, the marketing, even the quality of the company tee-shirts. :)

      Cons

      The company is growing fast, and it's sometimes hard to tell who you should ask about what. You can usually track down the info you need if you're persistent, but it can be a bit daunting for newcomers, especially when everyone you're asking for help is busy.
