Thank you for sharing your candid feedback with us. Career growth and progression is a key focus for Datadog, and we promote from within whenever possible. We provide training and resources for employees to utilize when having development conversations with their managers, and we have multiple training programs for our people managers to make sure we are coaching and providing feedback to employees appropriately. We make sure that each Datadog is paired with a mentor and a buddy, and we are currently piloting a company-wide mentorship program. Encouraging a culture of belonging and inclusivity is very important to us - we have cross-functional Community Guilds (ERGs) and department-specific affinity guilds to help our employees voice ideas, share experiences, and feel included. We consistently receive employee survey feedback that Datadog supports a positive work/life balance across teams, and feel this is a strong asset of the company. We appreciate your continued impact at Datadog, and thank you for highlighting these concerns. We strongly encourage you to speak with your People Business Partner to share specific concerns so that we can work to address these together.
