Pros

Overall Datadog the company is AMAZING!! If you want to be remote or an engineer or people ops or legal then Yes go for it! I would recommend this is a great hyper growth company. The Execs are fabulous and transparent when it comes to the status/health of the company and always available if you need. So definitely consider joining but that's only if you're not interviewing as an Executive Assistant ( EA). I have been there over 3 years since 2018 and all was amazing until new EA lead came in August 2021 and morale went downhill and five of us (EA) left within 4 months. All the other departments are great to work for. Below were my exit interview notes that was written and shared with my manger, HR and my team. Issues that are resolvable. The EA bandwidth / workload - too many execs. WFH rule is too rigid with post covid landscape. With multiple EAs WFH 2-3 days a week is a reasonable request that provides more than enough coverage in the office.

Cons

Why Did I leave? Constant harassment and Hostile work environment created by current Manager’s behavior. Micromanaging became a huge issue amongst all teh EAs. Trust & morale and team environment has diminished dramatically since new Head EA came onboard August 2021.
