Pros

Good office perks like snacks and catered food. Modern office space with nice amenities. Most coworkers are great.

Cons

A newer CSM people manager in Denver exhibits extremely inappropriate behavior toward women, frequently making them uncomfortable by undressing them with his eyes. Leadership at the director level lacks accountability and awareness, allowing toxic behaviors to exist. Despite positive culture among peers, poor management decisions and lack of oversight create an uncomfortable work environment.

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!
