Pros

fun parties every 10 days

Cons

sweat shop--work like 70-80 hours a week; high impossible quotas; high turnover; 'woke' culture favorites minority workers that high tech required to hire that are overpaid to get in door and then held to different standards of others. best case you can last one year and be out.

Datadog Response

Thank you for sharing your candid feedback, and we're sorry that your experience at Datadog was anything but positive. We continue to grow rapidly and operate in a high growth environment because of the speed at which we're scaling globally, and recognize the demand that this has on our Sales org - which is why our Recruiters are working hard to bring strong talent into the department to support this scale and growth. Diversifying our teams is a high priority of ours to foster a strong culture of belonging and growth, and bias in any way is not something we tolerate as we better balance representation with talented individuals across our teams. Thank you for the impact you had while at Datadog, and we wish you luck on your next journey.
