Pros

No longer any to report

Cons

Progression not based on performance but based on who you know. No Longer a family environment and treated more like a sweat shop.

Pros

Good product, salary and benefits

Cons

- UK Management has a toxic culture - No work life balance - Micromanagement - Management can’t be trusted (Two-faced) - Unfair account assignment (no chance to make your number) - Team colleagues just trying to survive and play the game till they hit their personal goals (commission/bonus/RSU’s) - Several good people already left (EAE, RSD and VP) - Don’t even apply if you are in the minority category! - Just read the reviews here or run a quick research on LinkedIn and you will see how many people have left over the last 6months!

We appreciate you taking the time to leave this feedback, and want to apologize that your experience at Datadog has been anything but positive, as this is not the kind of culture or leadership we support at Datadog. As a fast scaling business, we are always conscious of the impact that individuals joining and leaving our business have on our evolving culture. There are times when that impact is greater than we anticipate, and we are working hard to make sure that that does not reflect poorly on the constructive and collaborative environment we aim to maintain. We will be addressing these issues internally with our leadership team to understand better where this is happening, and why. Our leaders and managers go through dedicated workshops centered around Datadog's management practices, unconscious bias, providing feedback and more, as we recognize the impact that managers have on an individual's growth and success in the company. We work to keep these trainings updated and relevant, depending on needs that are identified for our leaders and managers. Thank you for bringing this to our attention, and know that your feedback is heard and will be addressed as we continue to learn how to be the best company we can be for our employees.

Thank you for sharing your candid feedback, and we're glad you had a positive sales onboarding experience. We apologize that your experience with management hasn't been positive, and we're actively launching manager trainings across the company to help better arm our leaders with the tools to grow successful teams and individuals, and we believe these trainings will help to teach great leadership practices moving forward. We appreciate you taking the time to leave this review so that we can address these topics with our leaders as we continue working to build a more inclusive workplace.
