Pros

Outstanding products with a deliberate focus on product innovation. True end to end monitoring platform with a tremendous amount of growth. Datadog solves real world problems .for companies shifting to the cloud. Great health benefits and perks. If you inherit a great patch you can have incredible W2

Cons

Very metrics driven company on the sales side. The expectations to hit these metrics for new regions will lead to a very unhealthy work like balance. The internal politics will make or break your tenure and growth here. Extreme lack of diversity at the senior leadership level. Very limited if any representation people of color and women.
