      Supportive culture, strong leadership

      Anonymous employee

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Lots of talented, helpful people around. The leadership team is steering the company in great directions. The company is growing incredibly fast but still feels like a calm, organized, and fun place

      Cons

      The company is transitioning from being a startup to being a serious business. As mor structure is put in place it is sometime unevenly communicated. You are equally likely to encounter processes that have no systemic approach or a robust one. It's often part of the job to navigate this and learn the right way to get something done.

      House of cards ready to collapse

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      The original value proposition still applies, for IT monitoring that is more granular and real-time that what the cloud providers offer.

      Cons

      Company organization is a disaster. The CRO brought in his former team and decimated the upper and middle Sales management. His previous company purged under-performers in preparation for their IPO; Datadog inherited their low-performers, who were all out of a job. Datadog products and acquired companies' software are connected by spaghetti code -- it's not sustainable. Perhaps great for a short term play (under 6 months), a disaster for 6+ monthos.

      Moving into a new phase of growth

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      -A lot to accomplish means ability to stretch: I've done things here that will shape my career in the future -Products are top notch and disruptive, company is putting focus into staying ahead of the curve -We're moving into a new stage of our lifecycle as a company, so most of the risk of joining a startup is behind us, but with all of the same startup perks -There are some great leaders here that I've learned a lot from, and our CEO is incredibly transparent -Growing like crazy, this can be awesome if you're in a department where you can see a clear career path

      Cons

      -Still some growing pains regarding org + how we change as we scale -If you joined to be in a startup environment, we're moving out of that phase of growth into an enterprise saas company -The crazy growth can be a con if you're not flexible and can't deal w change
