Pros

excellent product. that’s literally it.

Cons

- terrible terrible micro-management - all AEs leave as soon as they get their shares vested in the first year. No one in Singapore office stays more than exactly a year - racism (all upper management management is white , no locals ) - quota is IMPOSSIBLE to hit . Too US centric. This is Asia, same rules don’t apply but management is thick skinned and delusional - literally selling between $100-$500 deals as average selling price (almost embarrassing)

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!
