      Toxic Culture- Management/Leadership and Workload Need Improvements - Customer Success Manager (CSM) Datadog Employee Review

      Pros

      They offer a comprehensive benefits package, including health insurance, wellness programs, and catered office lunches three times a week (but no 401k). The company's innovative products also provide valuable experience in the tech industry.

      Cons

      Despite the strong benefits, the company does not cover parking expenses, leading to additional personal costs. In-office attendance is monitored via IP addresses, but there is no accessible method for employees to track their own in-office days. The workload is often overwhelming, with too many accounts assigned, leading to burnout. There is a perception of favoritism within leadership, which affects team morale and advancement opportunities. Compensation is considered low relative to the demanding workload. Additionally, promotions are challenging to obtain, and managerial support is lacking. Notably, after submitting a disability accommodation request, I was let go, raising concerns about the company's commitment to supporting employees with disabilities.

      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!
