Pros

good pay, good WLB. Good office. French so they are chill.

Cons

Beware, opt and stem opt people. They will contradict themselves to not start your H1B or EB3/2 process. However, they might say that they will. I wouldn't trust their word.

Pretty good place to work

Pros

- Oli and ALQ are great founders and have a knack for being in the right place at the right time with the right product (the majority of the time) - DD is a product people want and are (generally) willing to pay for - Good WLB with the right teams - The office is a pleasant enough place to spend time (but I don't think the in-office policy is worthwhile). - The *vast* majority of the people who work here are good people. - I appreciate that Datadog never shelved equality initiatives because it's the right thing to do.

Cons

- The number of products has grown beyond our ability to cohesively unify them. At some point, our satchel was stuffed too full and the seams are showing - Some of the products have been a flop thus far (Security, Product Analytics) and we're on some savior complex to force customers to adopt them anyways - Our pricing is byzantine(!). We claim it's simple but it's not. 90% of the questions I get are about how things are priced or billed and nobody who should know does. - We index heavily on certain benefits and completely skimp on others (401k contributions?! Nah. Can I interest you in an NYC rooftop?) - Generalists will drown in such a loaded product portfolio - Generally lower tier compensation

Thank you for sharing such a thoughtful review. It’s great to hear that you value the product, work-life balance, and the commitment we’ve made to inclusion initiatives. We also appreciate your feedback on pricing, product complexity, and benefits; these are important areas we continue to evaluate. If you’d like to share more on your experience with billing and customer questions, we encourage you to connect with your manager or People Business Partner so your perspective can help inform improvements.
