AI Insights:
Datadog is the observability darling where engineers get interesting distributed systems problems and genuinely good WLB - until their manager gets political. The doer culture that made it great is slowly being replaced by Zoom marathons and promotion opacity, but hey, at least there have been zero layoffs. Think of it as a company still deciding whether it wants to be a scrappy tech shop or a mid-size corporate - currently somewhere awkwardly in between.
