      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Work life balance Office is amazing There are still some very smart engineers depending on your team/department

      Cons

      It has turned into a PiP factory Leadership is more concerned with shipping features than making sure they are actually functional/good AI has invaded Datadog bad, everything you do anywhere at the company will be AI related. There are mandates that all teams spend at least 1/2 their time working on AI efforts, no exception AVOID infrastructure monitoring, logs, security departments

      Interesting Problems, Shady Management

      Pros

      Most engineers at Datadog are high performers working on interesting and impactful projects. You'll likely learn a lot from being an engineer here and be exposed to new and relevant technology.

      Cons

      There is a lack of transparency between managers and engineers. The company likes to brag that it's never had to conduct layoffs, but they have a tendency to "disappear" engineers with no warning or formal process while citing performance. Managers are, unfortunately, not your allies here. Management expects engineers to onboard quickly with minimal support and guidance, and is quick to blame engineers for any missed deadlines
