      Good perks, bad management - Anonymous employee Datadog Employee Review

      Pros

      Snacks, nice office, good view of NYC, nice people, fun events, lots of parties, quality t-shirts, cute logo. Great place to party, not so great for work.

      Cons

      Inexperienced managers make work miserable. Seriously. As teams grow they pick managers by figuring out who has been here the longest. Managers don’t listen or manage. Managers are mostly skilled at kissing up or masking problems. Lots of grumbling under the surface now. Seems like a crisis is brewing but nobody notices because of insane growth and fun team outings. Several new people have said to me that they thought their jobs would be different based on the interview but now they’re confused and worried.

      Pros

      Stock options and gym reimbursement

      Cons

      Datadog is a very toxic place especially if you’re in a non-tech role where you are deprioritized and uncared for. Talent acquisition has terrible, selfish leaders who only care about themselves and pushing their teams past their limits. Your colleagues will backstab you again and again to gain preferential treatment. The leaders encourage this type of behavior and get excited and make jokes about it. Additionally,I It is an environment riddled with sexism and racism — is it not 2026? NYC at that? The lack of resources and support compared to engineering is astounding. I would never recommend this place to anyone. Many of the good reviews are fake or are by people who perpetuate the toxic culture. The only good thing is the stock options. Stay far away from this place!
