Pluspunten

Stock options. May be too late now but that was the biggest positive joining pre-IPO. Great benefits as well.

Minpunten

- management is clueless. Preach the same concepts over and over again without applying practice and offering real-time guidance - a lot of micromanagers who want to watch you clock in and clock out of work. Zero trust and confidence in the folks they hire - retention was worst I’ve seen at any company - ROE and internal bureaucracy was very bad. Not set up for it to be equitable for even 20% of reps. Need a lot of luck - pay was awful. Not even close to being competitive in the current market. Stock options were good but doesn’t make up for poor base and variable. - a lot of talk and no action. Management used to say “changes are coming” and there was never any follow up

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!
