Pluspunten

French presence means on average, people feel comfortable actually using the unlimited PTO. In-office vibes are good. Hybridly located organizations actually work pretty well, for the most part. Internal mobility program is great. I've actually found that HR really advocates for individual workers too. Overtime, compensation has gotten better.

Minpunten

Your experience varies a ton depending on the team and organization, especially if you're a manager. Level one EMs here can be tech leads or pure people managers. It seems very, very stressful to be a PM here. There are some pretty non-rigorous practices when it comes to design and product. For example, we hire a ton of designers without any UX or market research capabilities who override PM decisions. Retirement matches for US seem underdeveloped.

Pluspunten

One of the best internships ever! My mentor and everyone on the team was so nice and supportive, they genuinely care about your learning, growth, and the team is extremely collaborative and tight knit.

Minpunten

No cons, only wish the internship lasted longer!

Stock options and gym reimbursement

Minpunten

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!
