Pros

Great product but that’s literally all this company has to offer is a great product.

Cons

Unmanageable workloads. They want quality over quantity but also want you hitting 100 touch points a day. The culture they portray in interviews is not one bit of what it’s actually like working there. They ask you to push their events but will also get upset that you didn’t hit your daily KPIs within your accounts. Leadership is just a bunch of chickens with their heads cut off running around. They say they want to help and coach you to get to the next step in your career but it’s all smoke and mirrors. Leadership in the sales org at least don’t care about anyone but themselves. The favoritism is off the charts at this company. If you aren’t brown nosing your managers or leadership they’ll go to the extreme to get you out. The whole sales org is a disaster!!!!

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!
