Pros

- Work life balance is taken seriously and time off is encouraged - Rapidly growing company with a bright future - Smart colleagues with great experience - Ability to take on new projects with autonomy - Unlimited PTO - Office perks include fully stocked kitchen, meals 3 days a week, beer fridge on Friday's after work, cold brew on tap etc.

Cons

- Below market pay, in salary, RSU, and virtually no bonus package - If you came after IPO or joined recently the comp RSU package is really expensive and potential for upside is limited - Antiquated systems and processes that should have long been done away with - Career opportunities were just released and are vague and not really followed - High turnover

Pros

Decent people, reasonable pay and perks and fast growing share price

Cons

Slow paced, enterprise sales cycles. A lot of employees claiming to not like or want any process or bureaucracy, while not realizing how much process and and how many inefficiencies they already have. I left a giant company (think 100k+ employees) to join Datadog (1000 employees) and I experienced more politics and unnecessary process in 1.2 years at Datadog than I did in 5 years at previous company. Additionally, no 401k matching as the billionaire owners don't believe it is something they should offer employees.
