      Datadog is a good place to work (with a few asterisks)

      Pros

      Work is interesting (but it depends on the team, I've heard great and not-so-great stories). A good percentage of people believe in the vision of the company. In-office environment is pretty good.

      Cons

      Culture is changing, it feels like everyone says "It used to be better". No remote policy while still being on an extremely distributed team (i.e. everyone in the office, but no one in the same office)

      Cons

      Salaries are good but could be a little better considering expenses of living in Paris

      More focused on Woke agendas than monitoring software

      Pros

      Good pay and good stock RSUs.

      Cons

      DEI content encompasses 15-25% of Engineering All Hands meetings. Atmosphere is hostile to any beliefs different than their majority liberal ideology, even if you just stayed silent. Very exclusive and intolerant. They also culture an environment of victimhood, everyone is offended and a victim of something here.
