Pros

Great food and snacks. Company has potentially bright future. Great for fresh out of college.

Cons

The average age of the company is maybe mid to late 20s. The company hires young workers to burn them out and they move on, very few people had confidence in their career growth at the company. The company is late to the game in most product development and certifications (fedramp) while competition has secured advantages in those topics. This is causing a focus on sales rather than product development. With the quarantine in place, business will be affected because of the focus on the types of customers we rely on while or competition has larger rainy day fund than we do. The company itself has a potentially bright future but the direction of the company is not inspiring.

Pros

Datadog is a very great work environment. Across the organization you will find some of the best people of their domain. More importantly, the company has done a great job of making sure that they are hiring enthusiastic and considerate people. People are kind and look out for each other, while also being quite fun. There is great feeling of community at the company.

Cons

The company has been in crazy growth mode so many people (as I was) can be joining to do a new job that's never been done before. This unstructured potential is exciting for those that want to work through it, but can be super challenging if you aren't proactive or rely on a lot of outside support to figure out what to work on. I also think that there is a great culture of supporting any and every employee but there could be more done more specifically around specifically supporting diverse groups and populations.
