Company has gone downhill quickly - Favorite job has become my least favorite job

Solutions engineer

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

- The work is a daily challenge - You are constantly learning new skills - Decent Benefits - Fitness Reimbursement and Meals - Work with talented intelligent people

Cons

- The solutions team used to be very collaborative and like a family but the solutions management has chipped away at company morale using obtuse metrics - Burn out is sky high - Toxic work environment where the people who suck up to management get treated well while people who speak up are punished. - The ticket goals are entirely too high to try and give our high paying clients good service - They keep hiring external unqualified individuals for tier 2 and management positions while overlooking our talented solutions engineers

Good company

Solution engineer

Business Outlook

Pros

All-in-one growing tool, good product. Company culture is good. Good perks.

Cons

Salary could be better. Like in any company it depends on the team and popularity to get extra RSUs, which you won’t get even if you excel at your role. Leadership scolds people for wanting to quit.

Datadog Response
