Pros

Great product, great engineering peers and great culture. From an engineering standpoint, this is a great place to be. It's gratifying to see the company grow at such a rapid clip. Execs have also demonstrated that they actually care for employee well-being as well as social causes while still focusing on keeping the business successful. Great job execs.

Cons

Immature low level management is pervasive. While the execs have tried to bring transparency to career development, line management will impose their own requirements to be evasive. There's a lot of work and if you show initiative and progress, your natural expectations of being appreciated will be squashed. Very low diversity, even in engineering. Women tend to leave at a much faster clip.

Datadog Response

Thank you for sharing your candid feedback, and we're sorry that this is the culture you've experienced at Datadog as that's not what we strive for within our Engineering department. We're actively launching manager trainings across the company to help better arm our leaders with the tools to grow successful teams and individuals, and we believe these trainings will help to teach great leadership practices moving forward. We appreciate you taking the time to leave this review so that we can address these topics with our leaders as we continue working to build a more inclusive workplace.
