      Pros

      Smart people, good management overall, high growth, interesting projects. Interns rare given real tasks from day one and after ramp up, can be given a project's ownership. You also get to travel to tech conventions from time to time if that's something you like.

      Cons

      Not much to say. The culture is great, people are open minded. One slight caveat is that you may not know well ahead what type of project you'll work on, but that's part of the startup fun for some people. Something that can be a downside too is that you need to be quite autonomous in your learning (though you can ask tons of questions and you're encouraged to do it).

      Great Culture, Great Product, Frustrating Work

      Pros

      Datadog is a fantastic place to work, where the people are great, the benefits are better, and the management actually cares about you. The unlimited vacation is real and not just a trap to weed out people who take it. Free lunches are fantastic, and the office kitchen is always well-stocked with snacks. The company's growing really fast, and every day you hear about another big name customer. If feels like you're part of something that soon everyone in the industry is going to know about. Imagine how cool it sounds to tell another engineer that you work for Github. That's what Datadog feels like it's going to be one day.

      Cons

      Several parts of the codebase are currently a mess. Depending on what team you're on, your day to day work might consist of putting out technical fires that have been building up almost since the company was founded and the first lines of code were written. There's very little culture of documentation, and not a lot of urgency to do anything about that. Different teams seem to be split up along lines that may have made sense once but don't anymore, which gets frustrating when suddenly your work is breaking somebody else's. Collaboration across teams is scattered and haphazard.

      Pros

      Great office environment, feels like a small company, a lot of interaction with executives, good benefits, catered lunches, flexible vacation policy

      Cons

      Office can be a bit quiet at times given the amount of engineers who are working on projects, 401k does not match
