Fantastic culture - positive, smart, open and humble. Great product - meaningful, unique, huge, successful. Excellent teams - collaborative, positive, kind, dynamic. Feeling - the company cares, the leadership is open, the work is meaningful, adaptable to changes, professionally respectful and feeling valued as individual. The company ticks all the boxes of what a great workplace should be.

Seeing the product and its range for the first time can be overwhelming.

Pros

Stock options and gym reimbursement

Cons

Datadog is a very toxic place especially if you’re in a non-tech role where you are deprioritized and uncared for. Talent acquisition has terrible, selfish leaders who only care about themselves and pushing their teams past their limits. Your colleagues will backstab you again and again to gain preferential treatment. The leaders encourage this type of behavior and get excited and make jokes about it. Additionally,I It is an environment riddled with sexism and racism — is it not 2026? NYC at that? The lack of resources and support compared to engineering is astounding. I would never recommend this place to anyone. Many of the good reviews are fake or are by people who perpetuate the toxic culture. The only good thing is the stock options. Stay far away from this place!
