Datadog reviews about "manager"

TC not as competitive as Google/Meta

CSM role is account manager role + sales quota. Not traditional CSM role

Terminated 6 days after raising a formal complaint about bullying from a senior member of staff. HR and manager outright lying to cover for their friend who has a history (according to other team members) of bullying new staff members. Raising it as a formal issue will see your manager terminate your contract to avoid it being escalated and HR will lie and say that formal documentation doesnt exist (it does) and no complaint was made

- on the rep level, org is not doing well. on org level, org is doing well. org attainment is probably above 100% but median rep attainment is probably 20% - territory is awful. lots of software companies with 5 engineers and 4 of the 5 are in India. truly ran through. - inbound is virtually non-existent - managers keep leaving - rep tenure is awful - very very few promotions upmarket (like 2 reps a year out of a sales floor of 90) - required to be in the office until 5:30pm every day. no flexibility on in-office days

There’s a lot. First off there is a small group of recruiter who have been in the company for a number of years who have their own little clique and don’t engage or support newer staff members and just act like their own little team. Said team are also terrible for bad mouthing, insulting and in some instances bullying people because they feel they are not “Datadog standard”. This unfortunately is not only overlooked by a lot of managers but some of them join in. Unfortunately there is a lot of turn over, both in the team you are hiring for an in recruitment with people terminated for trivial reasons, or worse people being “managed out” but because the company is filled with gossips half the company know someone is going to be fired for weeks before. You see so many people join the company and then one day no longer be there. There is some very toxic senior managers in the team, and a lot of American overreach in the recruiting org, who often don’t understand there are different laws in Europe and can’t comprehend that they can’t do what they want like in America. 3 days a week in office with zero flexibility except for (would you believe) the little clique group who have reduced days.

TPS leadership is terrible and even worse is the TAM leadership team. TAM leadership is fully absent from the day-to-day work ICs are doing and it is very obvious that most managers are not technical and don't really understand the workload or what their team members should and shouldn't do.

Wholly unqualified team managers, constantly changing performance metrics, and lack of care/concern for employees' personal circumstances. Work/life balance is non-existent. Workload is unsustainable. Zero discussion of career growth/progression.
