Pros

Great training and support. Company does a good job at making people want to stay with free food, fitness, events. However, it is a relentless and unforgiving job at times and you really, really need to grind to do well.

Cons

Work life balance and stress.

Pros

The company is growing FAST. Is it a lot of work? Yes, but it's meaningful work, work that you feel proud to do it and you do it with people who care about you more than the work itself.

Cons

As we grow the organizational structure is getting a bit outdated. We're due for a re-org!

Thank you for taking the time to provide this feedback. We couldn't agree more that there is so much impact in the work we're doing to support enterprise companies across the global cloud market, while working to build a culture and workplace where everyone feels welcome and that they belong. We are growing rapidly and recognize the need to adapt processes and structures to best support this scale, and are actively building these out today. Our people are our top priority, and we're glad you've seen this investment. We look forward to seeing your continued growth and impact at Datadog!

Pros

Datadog has the best training, resources and benefits I have experienced yet. Supportive culture. Fun atmosphere.

Cons

In order to make serious money you either have to get hired as a senior role or be prepared to put the time in for 4/5 years. Management doesn’t take criticism, if disagreement in policies very well.

Thank you for taking the time to provide this feedback. We're glad you've felt prepared by the learning, training, and resources our teams provide and have had a positive experience with our people-first and supportive culture, as well as the camaraderie we strive to bring to our office spaces. Compensation is a topic we revisit annually to ensure we adapt with the ever-changing market, as we want every Datadog to feel they can succeed in their roles and support their financial goals. We will continue to listen to this feedback, and take action to create the best company we can for our employees, so thank you for sharing this feedback as it goes a long way in helping us on that path.
