Thank you for sharing your candid feedback, and we're sorry that your experience was anything but positive at Datadog as that's not what we strive for within our Sales department. We are actively launching manager trainings across the company to help better arm our leaders with the tools to grow successful teams and individuals, and we believe these trainings will help to teach great leadership practices moving forward. We recognize both the demand and reward of this role as we navigate this hyper-growth environment, and are working to smooth out growing pains in our Sales processes as the demand of our product continues to increase in today's industry. To mitigate some of these challenges, we're actively growing our global Sales org to add support as we scale and seek to help more and more customers. We appreciate you taking the time to leave this review, and will do all we can to continue improving as a company and department every day.
