Datadog vs Salesforce Internship

I've been fortunate to receive offers at Datadog and Salesforce and am having trouble deciding. Datadog: Lower comp Will be working on their databases, distributed systems. Worse wlb? (So I've heard) Does anyone know how the wlb is at Datadog? How is their conversion process? Salesforce: Better comp Almost guaranteed return offer Working on internal cloud infrastructure tooling team. Salesforce conversion question: Do you get to pick the team for your return offer from Salesforce? Or is it assigned to you once you pick a location. Thanks! Any insight/thoughts are appreciated.

Salesforce. Stronger name helps with more FT interview calls. You can always move teams internally after joining FT. Don’t worry too much about teams now.

At Datadog, my team works from 9-10 AM EST to 6:00-6:30 EST, with one hour for lunch between. No more, no less. I don’t see any after hour / weekend PRs or reviews or even slack messages.
