      Pros

      Datadog has one of the greatest start up cultures i've ever been apart of. Aside from the great perks and incredible work/life balance, they are always open to new ideas and thinking outside the box. Communication flows perfectly from leadership and we have a great vision of the future of the organization. They work extra hard at making sure that everyone has the tools they need to succeed in their role and grow within the organization.

      Cons

      I gained 10 pounds after starting from the catered lunches and fully stocked snacks/fridge. But then I lost it because they reimburse for gym memberships!

      Mediocre leadership

      Pros

      Datadog as a company is doing great! It is a great software that is truly bringing visibility in one platform. CEO and CTO are the founders and they care about the product If you are in the office, lunch is great for the 3 days Even with hybrid mandate, it is really easy to still feel remote

      Cons

      TPS leadership is terrible and even worse is the TAM leadership team. TAM leadership is fully absent from the day-to-day work ICs are doing and it is very obvious that most managers are not technical and don't really understand the workload or what their team members should and shouldn't do.

      Pros

      Cool office with friendly teammates. Flexibility to pick your in-office days.

      Cons

      Wholly unqualified team managers, constantly changing performance metrics, and lack of care/concern for employees' personal circumstances. Work/life balance is non-existent. Workload is unsustainable. Zero discussion of career growth/progression.
