Interesting work, arrogant people

Software engineer

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Interesting projects and teams to work on, definitely helped me technically as a software engineer. Good pay.

Cons

People were incredibly arrogant. Not many people willing to help, only interested in their own agendas. No upward mobility for career growth. Being a manager doesn’t provide any benefits besides more stress. Poor 401k match.

Datadog Response

Thank you for sharing your experience. We're pleased to hear that you found the work engaging and beneficial for your technical skills. However, we're concerned about your feedback on lack of collaboration and limited career advancement opportunities. These aspects are fundamental to our culture, and we continuously strive to improve in these areas. Your feedback is valuable to us, and our People Business Partners will incorporate it as we work towards creating a better workplace for everyone. Thank you for your contributions during your time with Datadog.
