Datadog Employee Reviews

I am very grateful for the opportunities that have been offered to me in my time here. Datadog is great at seeing your strengths and placing you with a team that really suits your skills.

Othmane, Director, Engineering

I love coming in to the Datadog Madrid office -- the whole team is here. There’s a sense of shared momentum, like being back in university, but in a healthier way. People care deeply, but they’re not burning out. Everyone’s motivated and excited about what we’re building next.
