      Pros

      Benefits, trips, equipments, parties. The members of the team are collaborative and very nice, not the managers.

      Cons

      Rigid and not very skilled management where rudeness is key, humiliating tone used towards the team members as we were in the school, no mistakes are allowed, no effective communication, collaboration doesn’t exist. Unnecessary pressure on the onboarding process and adaptation. No empathy, no flexibility. No team culture and individualism is promoted by the manager in Dublin. Extremely vertical organisation of the Payroll team, excess of control from the senior management.

      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!
