      UNETHICAL CIRCUS - Customer Success Manager Datadog Employee Review

      Pros

      Office is nice and modern. Feels “cool,” but mostly just a distraction to make you give your soul to this place.

      Cons

      - Pay is a joke. CS does the work of account managers/sales reps but gets barely anything beyond a tiny bonus, even when you bring in more revenue than actual sales reps. - Management is completely clueless. Dictatorial, threatening, and obsessed with metrics while completely ignoring employees. - Everything is “mandatory.” Meetings, trainings, SKOs, they track attendance like it’s a game, no exceptions for being sick or having a disability. Absolutely illegal. - SKO sessions were pure theater. Mandatory attendance is scanned and points counted, not learning or growing. - The in-office policy is insane. No flexibility at all. - Most of the glowing 5-star reviews you see? Probably bots. No context, no real insight. Don’t trust them. - Turnover rate is INSANE, but guess what? You can’t find this information anywhere.

      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!
