Pros

Stock options and gym reimbursement

Cons

Datadog is a very toxic place especially if you’re in a non-tech role where you are deprioritized and uncared for. Talent acquisition has terrible, selfish leaders who only care about themselves and pushing their teams past their limits. Your colleagues will backstab you again and again to gain preferential treatment. The leaders encourage this type of behavior and get excited and make jokes about it. Additionally,I It is an environment riddled with sexism and racism — is it not 2026? NYC at that? The lack of resources and support compared to engineering is astounding. I would never recommend this place to anyone. Many of the good reviews are fake or are by people who perpetuate the toxic culture. The only good thing is the stock options. Stay far away from this place!

Pros

- great snacks in office - hybrid schedule is nice - Datadog is well known in industry - best in class product

Cons

- on the rep level, org is not doing well. on org level, org is doing well. org attainment is probably above 100% but median rep attainment is probably 20% - territory is awful. lots of software companies with 5 engineers and 4 of the 5 are in India. truly ran through. - inbound is virtually non-existent - managers keep leaving - rep tenure is awful - very very few promotions upmarket (like 2 reps a year out of a sales floor of 90) - required to be in the office until 5:30pm every day. no flexibility on in-office days
