Datadog is a good place to work (with a few asterisks)
Work is interesting (but it depends on the team; I've heard great and not-so-great stories). A good percentage of people believe in the vision of the company. The in-office environment is pretty good.
Culture is changing. It feels like everyone says, "It used to be better."
No remote policy while still being on an extremely distributed team (i.e., everyone in the office, but no one in the same office).
Slow the culture change. Sure, Datadog will be a big company, but it doesn't need to behave like Amazon to do so.
