Some Growing Pains

Recommend
CEO approval
Business Outlook

Pros

1. Quickly growing company with a great product. 2. Fair compensation and benefits

Cons

1. Lack of a proper engineering career path - There are not many engineering levels which means that there are Senior Software Engineers with a difference of 10+ years of experience, all with the same title. Getting promoted to a Staff Engineering level can be extremely difficult as compared to other companies. 2. Not remote-friendly - While they do hire for remote roles much of the engineering teams are office based and it can be difficult to integrate as a remote engineer. 3. Lots of junior engineers - The ratio of junior to more senior engineers is far greater than in many other places where I have worked. I have to do a bit more hand-holding at Datadog.

Pros

-good pay and benefits -great office locations -the social events are great -good people that are passionate about the work they do

Cons

-there’s a clear lack of diversity across multiple teams. Black/latinx employees are tokenized. -men on the engineering teams are misogynistic. -they’re unable to retain non-white employees. -Managers are incompetent and leadership+pbp don’t listen/action on the feedback that is given to them. -guilting people about having a job during a recession. I’ve seen this used by managers+leaders when valid concerns are being expressed. Discussion/criticism is normal and you should not fear retaliation if you don’t agree with everything your manager does/says. -very cliquey.
