Datadog requires you to be close to an office

[gimenete]

Hi,

One of the requirements you make is to

We will only list companies which allow working fully remotely (e.g. you can work from anywhere in Spain and you do not have to set foot in an office if you don't want to)

However this is what I got from a Datadog recruiter recently:

we are focusing on hiring in tech hub locations (meaning either Paris, Madrid or Lisbon)

So, based on that, I don't think Datadogs meets the criteria.

Thanks for the initiative!

I suspect this might be an effect of being a large company. They still list some offers like:

https://careers.datadoghq.com/detail/5103763/?gh_jid=5103763

That claim:

Ability to work remotely (in time zones across the Americas & Europe)

I will keep this open in case something else chimes in, but in the meantime I would not remove them. Probably most offers are not truly remote from anywhere in Spain, but I think it's best to err on the side of caution.

Sounds good 👍

From the BcnEng thread and someone who contacted me privately, it seems that DataDog is now mostly focused on on-site work, but they still offer some remote offers, and they are clearly indicated in the job listings.

So even though this doesn't fill me with joy, I think following our "rules", they can be on the list.

I'll close this no sooner than in a week. Ping @smoya in cause he wants to object.

What do you think about adding a badge (an * could work) close to those company names which, like DataDog, are not offering the same remote conditions in their offers?

[alexpdp7]

Hmmmm, what do you mean?

I think there are quite a few companies on the list where not all offers are remote. My idea always has been to maximize the utility of the repo, reducing as much as possible the maintenance required to keep it up to date. #54 has some discussion about this- with over 200 companies listed, it's becoming harder to use the repo, but really I don't have many ideas about how to improve this :(

Closing due to inactivity. DataDog does not seem to be a great place to find a remote job, but it still seems to offer some remote jobs, so I think it's best to include them in the listing.
