Pros

+ One of the most driven, get-it-done cultures I've experienced + The incumbent sales leadership in SG is a huge pro - especially on the commercial sales level. Truly intelligent and they understand the need for teamwork to win complex, yet high-velocity deals. They really want you to GROW, and take the time to mentor you WITHOUT "blaming" culture. Very rare! + Your team and leadership will absolutely rally around you as you get out there to win deals. There will always be some naysayers, but if you're someone that wants to perform at a high-level and understands it won't always be easy, this company WILL push you to get there

Cons

+ Not necessarily a "con", more of a fact: APAC will not have as many resources compared to other regions (US, EMEA, etc.) so you'd need a GET IT DONE mindset + You'd need a baseline aptitude for technology to do well - or at least the ability to grasp concepts quickly. It's a complex product, not turnkey at all

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!
