Pros

Customers love the Datadog products, and most of the engineers who I worked with were wonderful.

Cons

Its clear that management is not concerned about their people. Mid-level and senior organizational leaders are disconnected from the line workers. There is no effort to find out whats going on or build relationships with workers. Performance goals are opaque and change frequently, and employees are held against unreasonable and unclear productivity metrics. This is a dysfunctional company that does not value their people.

Thank you for sharing your feedback with us. We appreciate your positive comments about our products and the wonderful engineers you worked with. However, we are sorry to hear about your concerns regarding management and the overall organizational culture. Your comments about a perceived lack of concern for our people and a disconnect between leadership and line workers are important for us to further look into. Building strong relationships and ensuring open communication with all employees are priorities for us. We hear your concerns about opaque performance goals and frequently changing productivity metrics. We understand the importance of providing clear expectations and consistent communication.
