Pros

the ceo made a great company, benefits, pto etc. the product is easy to sell. you have plenty of ennoblement and training to do your job well.

Cons

datadog is like joining a fraternity. its a total bro culture that is led by even bigger bros. management is horrible and no one knows how to be a leader. you have the blind following the blind. get ready to hear the phrase "fired up" and "hit the ground running" 100x a day. if you like being babysat and sitting in 10+ internal zoom calls a day to hear your manager talk in circles then this is the place for you.

We appreciate your candor in sharing your feedback with us. We're glad that you enjoy the company perks and product, though we apologize that your experience with the culture and leadership has been anything but positive. As we grow rapidly we're working on bettering our culture every day to create a positive workplace experience for everyone, and have a lot on the horizon to mitigate any further growing pains within our culture. We've launched both manager and unconscious bias trainings to set a standard for leadership practices, as well as use the feedback from our internal employee survey to create positive change across departments. Our expert team of People Business Partners are also always available for conversations in confidence on ways we can better foster an open and inclusive culture as we scale and experience these inevitable growing pains together. So please continue to share this feedback with us as we read, review and respond to both the positive and negative experiences of our employees so that we can learn both what works and where we have room to grow. Because it's your insight that helps us improve every day, so thank you.
