Pros

Good product. Does the job well.

Cons

Productivity is prioritized at every level, with little regard for the people doing the work. Leadership operates with a disposable-workforce mentality, and employees feel it.

Pros

Good benefits, good pay and generally nice people

Cons

Very money grubbing with customers. Very proud of the fact that after customer's AWS bill the Datadog bill is 2nd biggest spend for companies.
