I am planning to interview at Datadog. Can folks please advice on their experience at Datadog? How are they fending off competition from companies like Splunk? Do they pay top of the market? I also see some unanswered questions about refreshers at Datadog. Can someone confirm if they offer annual refreshers? L5 at Google, 11 yoe, TC 450k
What about datacat
That's...actually a pretty cool name
DataDog margins are better than Splunk (probably different capabilities catering to different needs of customers)
Refreshers at Datadog depends on the team and performance. I was told not to expect any refreshers. However, i got ~200k for the next 4 years after my year 2. Tons of folks from Google have recently joined as Senior engineer. I am assuming they got a good TC. Back in 2019 when I joined, they were not matching any counter offers e.g. they didn't want to match my Amazon offer
How was your interview experience? Can I dm for questions if you are ok?
Sure. DM me
Whoami, what’s your level?
There's a company called Splunk? Do they have a sister company called Splooge?
