Pros

the ceo made a great company, benefits, pto etc. the product is easy to sell. you have plenty of ennoblement and training to do your job well.

Cons

datadog is like joining a fraternity. its a total bro culture that is led by even bigger bros. management is horrible and no one knows how to be a leader. you have the blind following the blind. get ready to hear the phrase "fired up" and "hit the ground running" 100x a day. if you like being babysat and sitting in 10+ internal zoom calls a day to hear your manager talk in circles then this is the place for you.

Pros

Great food and snacks. Company has potentially bright future. Great for fresh out of college.

Cons

The average age of the company is maybe mid to late 20s. The company hires young workers to burn them out and they move on, very few people had confidence in their career growth at the company. The company is late to the game in most product development and certifications (fedramp) while competition has secured advantages in those topics. This is causing a focus on sales rather than product development. With the quarantine in place, business will be affected because of the focus on the types of customers we rely on while or competition has larger rainy day fund than we do. The company itself has a potentially bright future but the direction of the company is not inspiring.
