Pros

fun parties every 10 days

Cons

sweat shop--work like 70-80 hours a week; high impossible quotas; high turnover; 'woke' culture favorites minority workers that high tech required to hire that are overpaid to get in door and then held to different standards of others. best case you can last one year and be out.

Thank you for sharing your candid feedback, and we're sorry that your experience at Datadog was anything but positive. We continue to grow rapidly and operate in a high growth environment because of the speed at which we're scaling globally, and recognize the demand that this has on our Sales org - which is why our Recruiters are working hard to bring strong talent into the department to support this scale and growth. Diversifying our teams is a high priority of ours to foster a strong culture of belonging and growth, and bias in any way is not something we tolerate as we better balance representation with talented individuals across our teams. Thank you for the impact you had while at Datadog, and we wish you luck on your next journey.

Thank you for being open in sharing your feedback and experience. We strive to create a culture where everyone feels they can succeed and grow, and we're sincerely sorry that that wasn't the overall experience you had with us at Datadog. Diversity, equity and inclusion is an important topic at Datadog, and we've built strong programs and Community Guilds (our ERGs) to better support and empower employees who identify across different communities. We don't tolerate "fraternity culture" or behavior, and encourage you to speak with your People Business Partner team to address any issues you're seeing in the office. We also continuously run market analyses to ensure our compensation is competitive within our industry, and review our workplace benefits to ensure we're offering best-in-class support and perks in addition to compensation. Feedback like this helps us continue to grow and improve as we seek to become a better and more inclusive company for our employees every day. We appreciate you taking the time to leave this review, and will do all we can to learn from our missteps.
