Pros

The food and the product are cool, its a shame they’re hiring jerks

Cons

While Datadog has a lot of potential, the experience for Black employees within the sales department in Denver is far from ideal. Out of the entire SDR team, there are only 1 Black SDRs, which speaks volumes about the lack of diversity. Additionally, management in the Denver office needs significant improvement. It's concerning that external hires are often prioritized over internal growth, which affects team morale and cohesion. Moreover, the recruitment process was disappointing, with the recruiter displaying behavior that felt racially insensitive, highlighting the urgent need for better DEI initiatives. Datadog has a long way to go in creating a truly inclusive and equitable workplace.

Pros

Great pay. Good Hours. Beautiful Campus.

Cons

Upper Management is really stupid. They continuously revoke headcount midway through the hiring process. They can't come up with a strategy that will last more than a quarter. I'm honestly surprised they can keep the lights on let alone run a company.

Thank you for sharing your feedback. The tech sector as a whole has had to navigate through a tumultuous market environment this year, and we've inevitably had to pivot and adapt to the same. Adaptability is a core component of or culture, and one we seek in employees and leadership alike. We will continue to grow and scale in the ever-changing world of tech, navigating the challenges with that same adaptability in order to course correct and innovate for what our customers need. Thank you for your continued impact and understanding.

Pros

-good pay and benefits -great office locations -the social events are great -good people that are passionate about the work they do

Cons

-there’s a clear lack of diversity across multiple teams. Black/latinx employees are tokenized. -men on the engineering teams are misogynistic. -they’re unable to retain non-white employees. -Managers are incompetent and leadership+pbp don’t listen/action on the feedback that is given to them. -guilting people about having a job during a recession. I’ve seen this used by managers+leaders when valid concerns are being expressed. Discussion/criticism is normal and you should not fear retaliation if you don’t agree with everything your manager does/says. -very cliquey.
