Pros

The food and the product are cool, its a shame they’re hiring jerks

Cons

While Datadog has a lot of potential, the experience for Black employees within the sales department in Denver is far from ideal. Out of the entire SDR team, there are only 1 Black SDRs, which speaks volumes about the lack of diversity. Additionally, management in the Denver office needs significant improvement. It's concerning that external hires are often prioritized over internal growth, which affects team morale and cohesion. Moreover, the recruitment process was disappointing, with the recruiter displaying behavior that felt racially insensitive, highlighting the urgent need for better DEI initiatives. Datadog has a long way to go in creating a truly inclusive and equitable workplace.
