      Pros

      Learning a development of you put your mind to it there is a lot of knowledge and up skill to be grabbed here Some of the smartest people I’ve worked with Free lunch 3 days if you’re excited about that

      Cons

      Got let go from datadog for not performing well! My expected metrics were Demo certified Pass courses Pipeline target Closed won target (3) I met all of these except my pipeline number which was short circa $100 What manager would let that go is my question? He said I didn’t perform well this is less than 6 months in! He rejected one of my sales because the customer had not shown usage after 10ths of signing up? The customer stated they had integration issues and needed help he rejected my sale why? I don’t know to not pay me my commission? Is that his decision or the company? I was never put on a PIP or even told her if you don’t meet these… I specifically asked my manager when he save me expected medics daily, is this a PIP which he replied no it’s not! My manager showed up minimum 5-7 mins late for every 1-1 if he didn’t move or cancel it! My manager made me uncomfortable to speak to him My manager misinformed me on more than one occasion

      Pros

      Product is genuinely decent and can add true value for the right customers. Benefits are good. Lots of very smart and motivated teammates.

      Cons

      I just want to leave one example of internal culture at Datadog. At a recent all hands. Someone gave a presentation of the work of an employee action group. A very senior leader makes a sarcastic joke trivializing one of points the action group had raised. I've never felt more bad for the person who presented. That sums up Datadog in a nutshell. Shocking out of touch senior management. If you want to work here understand you are just a metric on a dashboard to them. Not a person.

      Terminated for raising bullying complaint

      Pros

      Very little positives to say, some nice people but not that many

      Cons

      Terminated 6 days after raising a formal complaint about bullying from a senior member of staff. HR and manager outright lying to cover for their friend who has a history (according to other team members) of bullying new staff members. Raising it as a formal issue will see your manager terminate your contract to avoid it being escalated and HR will lie and say that formal documentation doesnt exist (it does) and no complaint was made
