Pros

Honestly the only reason to work here is the free snacks and lunches during the week.

Cons

Constantly overworking support staff and moving KPIs without taking into consideration the affect it has on staff (called out in other reviews). Refuse to help accommodate staff with mental heath issues other than offering an app provided from another company and then washing their hands of the situation. Little to no promotion opportunity to move to other departments (other than sales) or get a promotion. Salary is far below what other companies offer for same position. Little to no support from management regarding personal or professional growth. Huge push to take calls, to the point it is turning into a call center. Management will find a way to punish you if you speak up, even though you are asked to do so. If its not what they want to hear they make sure you don't do it again. Very much a do as we say not as we do mentality in there.

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!
