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

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!
