Pros
I read some of the previous reviews and Datadog does seem to have it's areas that need improvement but let's be real, what company doesn't? These reviewers are measuring Datadog to some fictional ideal standard of an impossible company that does not exist anywhere and complaining that their needs are not met. Like come on, if you have your cake, you don't get to complain that you can't eat it too. Chances are, you're a millennial still young in your career, thinking you're a hot shot and barking that any company would be lucky to have you but the minute you don't get your way, instead of taking challenging professional experiences and turning them into grit and learning opportunities, you go online and write a slanderous review as if that anonymous "control" will boost your ego knowing that you "stuck it to them." Let's see how many reviews you leave before you learn that your job is more than your paycheck - it's about learning to develop a company, changing culture for the better and believing in your product. - Generous employee benefits (catered lunch, fully stocked kitchen, unlimited PTO, health benefits) - Established enough as a startup to provide resources towards new areas of company growth - Managers don't micromanage, trust you to do your job and give feedback and coaching if you ask - Generally all employees I've come across are chill enough that I'd hang with them after 5p - Steller city view and open office layout
Cons
- Echoing another review, no nap pods but cold brew on tap soo... - Office culture does vary significantly from one location to another as Sales dominated Boston will be louder and amped while Engineering dominated NY will be quieter and chill (not really a con, just a fact) - Team culture is heavily dependent on your director. Mine is great but I do understand other teams' dynamic might be more challenging - Boston office is freezing most of the time but probably won't be complaining when its 100 degrees outside in the summer
