Pros

Decent pay but just like any other job, you get what you put in. Unlimited PTO and good location.

Cons

Terrible management who treat this role like you have a 1.5 million dollar number to hit, very hard on optics and focus on the quantity of calls/emails rather than quality. . Cool office with a bunch of booths and couches to make it seem like it's a laid back environment but penalize and shame you for not sitting at your desk. Frat boy type attitude and very hard to move up internally to the next step as an AE.

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!
