Pros

Generous PTO, gym/health reimbursement, started 401k matching this year. RSUs

Cons

Seem to operate on a "need to know" basis, even though we promote transparency I have yet to see it. Certain policies only visible to certain groups, I'd like to be able to see "the life of a team lead" for example, but content is restricted. Support feels very behind compared to other industries of this size, we are just now "figuring out" SLA's which should have happened years ago. Culture is getting very corporate

We appreciate you taking the time to provide this feedback, and are glad that you've enjoyed Datadog's benefits and perks. We're continuously reviewing processes and protocol to make the Solutions Engineering space as efficient and autonomous as possible. We are focused on communicating thoughtfully and proactively, with routine teamwide meetings such as Technical Solutions All Hands, SPOT All Hands, and team standups. We encourage you to speak with your People Business Partner directly so they can understand further context, and we can work together to address the challenges you're facing. Datadog has grown rapidly in the last year, and we ask for your patience and understanding as we navigate this hypergrowth environment together. We appreciate all you do to support Datadog's customers, and are grateful to have you as part of the pack.

Pros

My paychecks come on time.

Cons

Don’t trust the positive reviews, HR offers rewards if you post one. All they care about are number of tickets solved. They’ll cancel your PTO and give you more work only to tell you that you’re suddenly under performing. But don’t worry, you’ll get a tshirt if you solve enough to not get fired.

Thank you for providing this feedback, and we apologize that your experience at Datadog has been anything but positive. We do not currently, nor have we ever, condoned rewards for employee reviews. We do encourage Datadogs to share their honest experience on Glassdoor - both what they enjoy and where we have room to improve. On the emphasis for return to office - we do believe that there is a high value in in-person collaboration, but we also recognize and pride ourselves in being a flexible workplace in order to support employees. That is why we continue to operate as a hybrid workplace environment to allow employees and teams to find the balance that is appropriate for them. For our Solutions Engineers, we are continuing to build out a comprehensive program that rewards and recognizes ticket quality + quantity, among other things. We will share your sentiment with our People Business Partners to ensure your feedback doesn't go unheard, but we also encourage you to reach out directly to your People Business Partner to discuss any issues or concerns for your specific circumstances.
