Pros

Office, snacks, expresso machine, parental leave, catered lunches

Cons

If you ever wanted to work at a company with some of the rudest, racist, and inconsiderate individuals ever Datadog is the place for you! Employees are frequently verbally abused and maltreated by their managers. Datadog fosters and encourages a toxic, rude, abusive and oppressive work environment. It starts from the top down. You will never be able to do your best work under those conditions. Do yourself a favor and don't even bother.

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!
