      Pros

      - Work life balance is taken seriously and time off is encouraged - Rapidly growing company with a bright future - Smart colleagues with great experience - Ability to take on new projects with autonomy - Unlimited PTO - Office perks include fully stocked kitchen, meals 3 days a week, beer fridge on Friday's after work, cold brew on tap etc.

      Cons

      - Below market pay, in salary, RSU, and virtually no bonus package - If you came after IPO or joined recently the comp RSU package is really expensive and potential for upside is limited - Antiquated systems and processes that should have long been done away with - Career opportunities were just released and are vague and not really followed - High turnover

      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!
