Pluspunten

Most engineers at Datadog are high performers working on interesting and impactful projects. You'll likely learn a lot from being an engineer here and be exposed to new and relevant technology.

Minpunten

There is a lack of transparency between managers and engineers. The company likes to brag that it's never had to conduct layoffs, but they have a tendency to "disappear" engineers with no warning or formal process while citing performance. Managers are, unfortunately, not your allies here. Management expects engineers to onboard quickly with minimal support and guidance, and is quick to blame engineers for any missed deadlines

Stock options and gym reimbursement

Minpunten

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!
