Pros

Very little positives to say, some nice people but not that many

Cons

Terminated 6 days after raising a formal complaint about bullying from a senior member of staff. HR and manager outright lying to cover for their friend who has a history (according to other team members) of bullying new staff members. Raising it as a formal issue will see your manager terminate your contract to avoid it being escalated and HR will lie and say that formal documentation doesnt exist (it does) and no complaint was made

Pros

One of the best internships ever! My mentor and everyone on the team was so nice and supportive, they genuinely care about your learning, growth, and the team is extremely collaborative and tight knit.

Cons

No cons, only wish the internship lasted longer!

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!
