Datadog Response
3yWe appreciate you taking the time to leave this feedback, and apologize that you've had a less than positive experience recently. We take the health and safety of our employees very seriously, which is why we do require employees in US Datadog locations to wear masks in offices as well as to be vaccinated to enter. After two years of full-time remote work, however, we do believe that a hybrid workplace experience is the best option to encourage the innovation and collaboration that happens in person. Many employees also missed being in person with their coworkers, as well as the perks of our office catered lunches, coworking spaces, team activities and more.
On compensation, economic conditions affect the market compensation bands and we monitor and adjust our own compensation bands accordingly to ensure employees are paid fairly. Salary is only one piece of the puzzle - we consistently review employees' total compensation - their salary plus their vesting equity.
We're glad you've loved our fitness reimbursement benefit and feel positive about the business outlook as we scale rapidly. As with any growth, we will experience growing pains, and ask for your patience and support as we navigate through this journey together. We hope you'll address these concerns directly with your People Business Partner so we can find actionable solutions to your concerns. Thank you for your continued impact at Datadog.
