Pros

There are tons of smart, thoughtful people working at datadog. The product is complex so the problems are very interesting. there is always a lot to do and a lot to learn.

Cons

As the company grows its normal for priorities to shift toward keeping shareholders and big customers happy. I sometimes think that can hamper innovation, despite ultimately being good for business.
