Datadog

Working at Datadog has been a professional dream realized. From our founds &  executives, through leadership, and to individual contributors, Datadog has great people working at the company. Many companies say they are "product led" but none are as true to that as Datadog. Unlike its competitors, Datadog knows the value of its product and doesn't let sales offer deep discounts just to win deals. That's short-sighted and its why most of Datadog's competitors have sold out to private equity firms. Datadog sells on value and its incredible to see the pace of innovation and it's inspiring to hear our leadership speak about its vision for the future.

In sales we work with so many departments and I've never worked at a company with so much competency, integrity, and kindness across departments. Everyone takes pride in their work and they're genuinely a pleasure to work with.

There's no guarantee of success at Datadog but the probability is far greater than most other companies, especially for those who apply themselves with grit and determination.

From being a customer of Datadog - to getting to know everyone in my region as a customer - to applying for a role at Datadog - I always loved the company.

Now having worked here for 18 months - I love it even more :). My colleagues, my team, my management and my senior leadership are all people I admire and respect.

The company culture is built on trusting staff to do the right thing and do it well - so the ability to work the way you want to is part of every day.

Its also a very open, honest and transparent company - where regular updates and meetings for all staff with the senior leadership happen - and are a totally open Q&A forum.  Its very inspiring and confidence building.

The work can be hard, it can be tiring and its always always intense and busy - but the rewards are large, the care shown towards employees is large and the benefits are many.

Its simply an absolutely fantastic place to work - and I look forward to every day.

I started at Datadog during the pandemic and I've been blown away at how the company has been able to adapt and pivot swiftly to a remote working culture. Leadership has been transparent and supportive from day 1, and our benefits have reflected this change in this new remote culture. We have generous health benefits, including free mental health sessions, virtual fitness classes and generous fitness reimbursement, and unlimited time off to take the time we need to create a healthy work/life balance. Beyond that, this company truly cares about career development and the success of their employees and I'm excited for this next chapter in my own career story to begin as I've been promoted to a manager from an individual contributor within a year of working here. 10/10 would reccomend to a friend.

Stressful work environment due to constant high demands and workloads. Toxic leadership team.

Toxic leadership team who do not listen to the people and decisions are made top down.

I have experienced and seen leadership bullying employees out of their position.

Toxic team environment where managers do not have your back and leadership promote individualism. This creates a lonely work environment.

Burnt out is the norm within members of the EMEA team due to constant high demands and workloads.

No recognition for doing good work. You will get promoted from pleasing leadership.

No one knows clearly what they are doing. Everyone blames each other.

Out of 5 hiring in the past year 4 resigned within the team.

Datadog is an outstanding observability and security platform that provides deep visibility into infrastructure, applications, and logs—all in a single pane of glass. The platform is intuitive, highly scalable, and continuously innovating with new features like AI-powered monitoring and security analytics.

The company culture is also a major highlight. Datadog fosters a collaborative, high-performance environment where employees are supported in their growth. Leadership is transparent, and there's a strong emphasis on customer success. Work-life balance varies by role, but the company offers great benefits and career development opportunities.

If you're looking for a cutting-edge monitoring solution or a rewarding place to work, Datadog delivers on both fronts.

This is a growing, post IPO company so it has a lot to offer. Datadog is expanding globally each year so every team is growing, but the company still does a good job in keeping the culture fun, inclusive, and exciting. Even while working at home during covid, the company has been extremely supportive during this time as well. The products are great and there are always more being released, while also customizing what we offer to our clients to make their experience as good as possible. Engineers love what we have to offer. This is an exciting place to work if you want to be a part of a really interesting and profitable industry.

During my time at Datadog we've doubled the number of hires and it's like the pandemic didn't even happen. Of course it is much more difficult to lead a sales team when we cannot meet or meet customers, but overall I've been very impressed by the continued growth during 2020.

Working at a company with high growth and high expectations is not for everyone, but for those who are willing to roll up their sleeves and get things done it is an amazing opportunity. Continuous investments in enablement and good career paths in customer facing roles.

I joined Datadog as a new grad and onboarded remotely during the COVID-19 pandemic. They have handled fully remote work really well and I've had a great time here so far. People are super friendly and helpful and I've had the chance to work on some cool projects. I know that when work is in-person, the office is lovely and there are a bunch of perks like yoga classes, free snacks, etc. The benefits are great and include unlimited vacation and $100/mo fitness + wellness budget. I would highly recommend it.

Datadog is a great company, especially when I started and it was a bit smaller scale. Now though, we are experiencing growing pains with how fast the company is growing. RTO is keeping workers on a tighter leash and they do not care if this causes long time workers with plenty of historical knowledge to leave. Benefits provided are pretty good but overall pay is pretty low. Raises are basically non-existent and no bonuses. Love the place but lack of personal and financial growth in my career has been a pain point. 

Datadog has great professional development, training, and a world class product. However, you're treated like just a number in the sales team. The company has a high turnover rate for AEs, and it can be described as a revolving-door. The sales team has very low quota attainment across the floor. Overall good company to learn how to be an AE and get experience at global company, but you might be motivated to leave after one year.
