Vantaggi

Great product, cross collaboration with very smart SE's.

Svantaggi

Arguably the worst new hire onboarding I've ever had in the tech industry. As mentioned in the headline, this is not a CS job, this is a glorified sales position, the CSM is responsible for generating pipeline, maintaining SF hygiene, running disco calls and ultimately closing deals, but with absolutely no support from management and leadership. Extremely low pay for the amount of work you are putting in, as mentioned you are wearing multiple hats and if you are not hitting quarterly quota, they are really cutthroat with firings. Everything is just vibes in this organization, management keeps giving themselves promotions while the organization is struggling with hitting KPI numbers/quarterly targets. Promotion is completely non existent at this role, so even if you are good at this position, plan to exit out of Datadog within 2-3 years because you are not getting promoted

Stock options and gym reimbursement

Svantaggi

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!
