Pros

- Its a real fast pace company that provides a lot of opportunities in both learning and career. - The Dublin team collaborates really well. As well as working well together, everyone genuinely gets along and has fun outside of work -Working for a company with the strongest product in the market -Most if not all people in the company are extremely humble and this is pushed from the very top down. -We've adapted to Covid really well and every manager supports their teams to the highest standard during this tough time

Cons

- Not a con for me but working at Datadog isn't for everyone. In order to excel here you need to be able to keep up with the pace, be solution orientated and work in the grey. Thats the joy of working in a fast pace scale up
