Hopefully this is a little more objective than some of the previous reviews left by disgruntled under performing employees.
However, it has its challenges as does every company and you should enter into discussion with Datadog about furthering your career with unbiased transparency.
It’s hard work. No questions asked. This isn’t an armchair ride.
It’s a land and expand model which is built on hard work, control and determination. Post IPO, certain people have left due to achieving serious success and the company for that reason is now building a new identity, a new culture. This takes time and is always open to opinion.
Takes 12 months to get your business up. It’s enterprise software to enterprise customers. If you want quick money like some that have left you need not apply.
MBO’s and development align to your success and career growth.
Covid has created a remote working environment which is only really now being addressed. The office in London is a WeWork, which we use as a base. People are starting to be more engaged. This is not any different to other companies right now.
The Market - the success of Datadog and the direction companies are headed, this has been a leading organisation in a phenomenal market.
New companies are expanding their offering and getting closer. This creates more competition. Challenge accepted by most people joining.
Wish you all the best in what you are looking for. Open, transparent and happy to address any questions with anyone.
