Discrimination and Retaliation

Software engineer ii

Business Outlook

Pros

Decent benefits, working around some smart people.

Cons

Racism and discrimination is what I experienced at Datadog. HR will do everything in their power to protect their managers who are guilty of this. They will blame everything on you and gaslight. I was retaliated against for approaching my manager about some inappropriate and discriminatory comments he made in front of the entire team and HR did absolutely nothing but defend him, even after he retaliated.
