Growing company with a great culture

Pros

It is rare to find a fast growing company that has focused so heavily on maintaining their culture. Many companies try but few succeed. Datadog is one of the few companies I have seen that has been able to do this. Management truly cares about employees and actively review employee surveys to build plans to improve any items that were noted as needing improvement. Pay is good and the tech is awesome.

Cons

Observability is a hot sector and there are days where my meetings are stacked so tight I barely get a bathroom break. Both a good and bad problem I guess.

Pros

Work life balance is actually respected, unlimited PTO is actually respected and utilized, hybrid policy is pretty loose

Cons

Compensation is below market rate, growth is leading to a lot of bureaucracy being introduced

Pros

Amazing rate of development and investment in the product means continual evolution. I can what product are building as a sales engineer and have a lot of confidence that they are developing features that are valuable which makes it a lot more authentic to sell with confidence. Engineering-led company and focus on acquisitions. Things aren't bolted on; they are rebuilt as part of the product to be seamless as possible. Multiple team members promoted courtesy high rate of growth. Company is profitable and still growing despite the macro economic environment.

Cons

Company has a 3 day in-office policy unless the role is fully remote. This is starting to be monitored by some teams (more sales and support-focused, but has started to make its way to sales eng) Definitely starting to see need for structure (and can see it being put in place) so the insane growth days are over for now. With that means less ability to dip your toes into different parts of the org. Job stability outlook is good though (touch wood)
