What is the retirement plan like at Datadog?

Opportunity to work deeply across AWS, Azure, and GCP, staying at the bleeding edge of cloud-native technologies and distributed systems. The company invests heavily in high-level networking and team bonding, ranging from generously budgeted quarterly dinners to global events like the annual Staff Engineer conference, which recently brought the senior leadership together in Paris.

The financial benefits package is underwhelming. The medical benefits are average, and the 401k match is below other industry leaders.

* great benefits * very smart and helpful coworkers

* 401k match could be a better %

Warm, human. Treat Engineers like human beings. Work has reasonable level of urgency and high level of complexity.

Poor 401k company match, otherwise benefits and comp are great.

Decent pay Nice peers Great product

Management Management Management Politics rule supreme Poor 401k match The lunch situation The office tracking

- aggressive product roadmap and promising future - top class SaaS business health metrics - robust management training ensuring leadership is equipped with skills and tools to do their best - great benefits including lunch and fitness coverage

401k match is a little low

C-suite and founders are super involved, day-to-day is great and most coworkers are nice

Performance rewards could be better + higher 401k match

great work life balance, smart people

401k match is not very good

Excellent benefits with RSU, 401k, MBOs for ramp

Takes long to move up market internally

- Oli and ALQ are great founders and have a knack for being in the right place at the right time with the right product (the majority of the time) - DD is a product people want and are (generally) willing to pay for - Good WLB with the right teams - The office is a pleasant enough place to spend time (but I don't think the in-office policy is worthwhile). - The *vast* majority of the people who work here are good people. - I appreciate that Datadog never shelved equality initiatives because it's the right thing to do.

- The number of products has grown beyond our ability to cohesively unify them. At some point, our satchel was stuffed too full and the seams are showing - Some of the products have been a flop thus far (Security, Product Analytics) and we're on some savior complex to force customers to adopt them anyways - Our pricing is byzantine(!). We claim it's simple but it's not. 90% of the questions I get are about how things are priced or billed and nobody who should know does. - We index heavily on certain benefits and completely skimp on others (401k contributions?! Nah. Can I interest you in an NYC rooftop?) - Generalists will drown in such a loaded product portfolio - Generally lower tier compensation

The technology and consistent R&D to make it better, the people

the 401k match is lacking
