      Pros

      My colleges were nice people. Doing the best they could under difficult circumstances

      Cons

      I was the victim of an abusive manager who constantly manipulated, gasket, and verbally abused me. When I told him what he was doing and professionally asked him to stop constantly criticizing me in front of the team, he responded with a PIP made up of entirely false allegations. I had receipts showing they were all lies. HR did not care and sided with him. Since then I’ve developed severe depression, crippling anxiety, and have been unable to find decent work in this economy. I had a great career and was very successful before coming to Datadog. This company has ruined my life.

      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!
