Pros

Good products Good benefits Healthcare Stocks Fitness Phone bill Pets Maternity & paternity Remote work

Cons

It used to be good until…. Do not trust anyone here You are on your own, be prepared to fight for yourself Be careful how you seek help in solving problems as it’ll all still be used against you They tell you one thing and then change to another They set people up to destroy you They do not care about you in ANY way Forget about taking off, it’s almost impossible or you’ll be guilt tripped for doing that Many people feel like gods here, they belittle you and you become so tiny and invisible You have to constantly be loud and be everywhere to make them notice you You have to change YOU. They do not encourage diversity Your colleagues are ready to rate you so low in order to get favor from management and be promoted You just cannot be free or happy. It’ll definitely be short lived Very confused management

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!
