Pros

- Best culture I've ever been a part of, and that continues to be true as the company scales. - Management takes work-life balance seriously. I know very few people who feel their workload isn't manageable. - Management is approachable, transparent, and non-pretentious

Cons

- This is an engineering company through and through. If you like engineering problems and engineers, this is a pro. If not, could be a con. - Certain roles (sol. eng/support) are a bit underpaid

We appreciate you leaving this feedback, and are humbled by your praise of our company culture. We're passionate about creating a workplace where employees feel empowered to grow, innovate, and excel, and we're glad that you've also felt supported by the leadership team. We'll be the first to admit that our product and company was built by engineers, for engineers, when we started 10+ years ago, but we're actively working to build our internal employee engagement team to create a workplace that feels inclusive to all our roles and departments across the company and around the world. And we do revisit compensation to ensure we're competitive and fair based on market assessments, and will continue to do so. Thank you so much for your transparency as feedback like this only helps us continue to become a better workplace for our employees. We appreciate all you do to help Datadog grow!
