Thank you for sharing your candid feedback, and we're sorry that your experience at Datadog was anything but positive. Our Sales Development Team leverages resources such as our Sales Enablement team and trainings like MEDDIC to teach SDRs the tools they need to be successful, and we're sorry you did not feel supported by these resources. Our COVID protocols have remained consistent and we do require employees in the United States to be vaccinated to enter our offices at this time. We appreciate you taking the time to leave this review, and will do all we can to continue improving as a company every day.

Horrible Workplace

Pros

Cool office views, employee benefits,

Cons

Datadog is a company with racist mysoginistic leadership and I would not recommend it to anyone. Finance/Accounting team is so toxic and employees are treated unfairly and poorly. Promises much but disappointing once you've been there 12 months and the glamour wears off. High turnover! Stay far away!

We appreciate you taking the time to share your experience, and apologize that it has been anything but positive in your role at Datadog. As a company, we strive to build a workplace of inclusivity and belonging, and any behavior that goes against our DEI mission is not tolerated. We hope you will bring this sentiment and account to your People Business Partner so we can understand better how to remedy the negativity you are experiencing. We appreciate your impact and feedback to learn where we still face missteps and how we can create environments of inclusion from our leadership down.

Pros

- Work life balance is taken seriously and time off is encouraged - Rapidly growing company with a bright future - Smart colleagues with great experience - Ability to take on new projects with autonomy - Unlimited PTO - Office perks include fully stocked kitchen, meals 3 days a week, beer fridge on Friday's after work, cold brew on tap etc.

Cons

- Below market pay, in salary, RSU, and virtually no bonus package - If you came after IPO or joined recently the comp RSU package is really expensive and potential for upside is limited - Antiquated systems and processes that should have long been done away with - Career opportunities were just released and are vague and not really followed - High turnover
