How are promotions handled at Datadog?

Great fruits, drinks, snacks, food bar.

- Leadership lacks competence and fosters a negative work environment. - Compensation is below industry standards. - Employee benefits have been declining. - Limited career growth opportunities, making promotions slow and difficult. - No bonuses, and stock grants are minimal. - The CEO and most leaderships have poor design sense but disregards professional input. - Poor work life balance.

Free lunch 3 days of the week, beautiful office space

Slow promotion cycles and lack in opportunities to grow

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

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.

Great company with a great product, catered lunches/stocked kitchen, great benefits

Strict in office policy, unclear path to promotion, constant changes within org and lack of consistency

Good people, good product, fun role, high pace environemnt

Upward mobility is relatively stagnant and comp increases are small

Great company to work for, perks and terms, culture, colleagues, easy to sell products, looks great on your CV.

Junior entry level department mentality- no recognition for employees, low morale, dismissive management, unreasonable KPIs. No career path or plan for Customer Success. If you are interviewing for this job make sure you are ok with the career path, promotions, internal mobility opportunities and realistic timeline.

R&D is a huge focus Product Team is incredible and knowledgeable Strong logo with dedicated customer base Overall a great place to work

Promotion opportunities are few and far between Some disconnect between senior leadership and day-to-day responsibilities of ICs and managers

Perspective in Engineering: - Blameless culture - Flexible working hours - Good work life balance - Offices are great

- Make sure you are a good fit with management - Strong relationship between your position and compensation (it can also be positive) - Depending on teams, the promotion path can very subjective

Great leadership at Director and VP Level Fun culture Enterprise Accounts

All new business with no line of sight into selling current customers Average rep hits between 20-30% of quota Career promotion to Enterprise is impossible

- product is best in class - great place to develop as an early career seller - office and benefits are great

- very political high school esk culture - base pay is low - promotion path to from COMM to MM is slow and highly politically driven - accounts are ran through and majority are terrible because DD hires 100s of sellers at low pay to cover as many accounts at the same time as possible
