      Started great, office politics took over - Strategy and Operations Associate Datadog Employee Review

      Business outlook

      Pros

      - Team members knowledgeable and genuinely try to be helpful with however little time they have - Office is gorgeous and the perks/amenities are nice, if you have time to use them (never got to take a yoga/pilates class or a meditation session, but I did eat breakfast there almost daily because I had no time to before I got into the office) - Flexible hybrid work policy, international-friendly if you need to work remote briefly

      Cons

      - Misalignment of goals/outlooks/process amongst different layers of leadership - Goalposts move with no warning or notice until after a project is concluded and suddenly leadership opinion on the outcome changes - Busy season lasts half the year and is extremely intense with minimal preparation/training - Your specific role/scope may not be clear until a few months in

      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!
