      Great place to work

      Pros

      Great benefits, work life balance, people, and perks

      Cons

      Raises with promotion are not super high

      Great company, good work/life balance, solid perks, and a bright future

      Pros

      - Great company and product with a good future ahead - Awesome office culture - you'll want to be in these beautiful offices with lunch 3 times a week, high-quality snacks, monthly social events, and really kind and welcoming colleagues - Good work/life balance with "unlimited" PTO and managers that encourage folks to take time off - Benefits are solid, with monthly gym and phone allowance, home office stipend, and affordable healthcare for families

      Cons

      - Pay might be lower than other tech companies, and salary negotiation wasn't exactly fruitful during the recruiting process - 401k match could be improved

      Great WLB

      Pros

      Very happy with everything so far. Good work life balance and was recently told I need to up my PTO, which I think came down from c-suite which really speaks to the company culture. Personally have really enjoyed my work as well.

      Cons

      I've heard upward mobility can be tough due to limited management roles but not a current concern

      Pros

      The snacks are nice and the people are hardworking.

      Cons

      The work life balance people talk about at Datadog is not accurate. My team was extremely high performing and high functioning that it doesnt feel like you get a second to breathe.
