Pros

I interviewed and started remotely - the process was seamless and the HR/on-boarding teams were incredible throughout the process. Very transparent and helpful. - Welcoming culture where your team wants you to succeed - Comp/benefits on par with the market - Supposedly the office is incredible and all the perks that come with it (lunch 3x a week during normal times etc) I personally have not yet been - however, quite a few people on my team are itching to go back, which is a great indication of culture.

Cons

- no 401k match. This is mitigated by restricted stock units, but still not ideal - nothing else to note

Pros

Datadog strikes the perfect balance of the support and structure of an enterprise level organization while still maintaining the feel of a young, forward thinking business. I'm extremely impressed with leadership and how they have grown the organization while still remaining visible and accessible. The people that work here are some of my favorite employees I've ever had. The company is filled with passionate, intelligent, and engaging humans. It's a social environment (even virtually) where employees are encouraged to get to know each other on an interpersonal level. There is growth potential if you are willing to work hard and speak up, and good work is recognized and rewarded. Could not be happier with my nearly 2 years of working here- would recommend it to anyone!

Cons

Lots of fast paced growth in all aspects of the business can lead to aggressive SLAs and objectives. Fast paced is the the only pace at Datadog! You need to be flexible and might have to change course at the drop of a hat, or take on new, unexpected project. Not so much a con if you enjoy that kind of environment, but can be stressful if that doesn't suite your work style.
