Boring product. Extremely boring. No inbound leads, very few get good ones and when they do they are big so it is like waiting for something great to come your way so you can have the pressure relief. Lots of activity. They live and breath PG

We appreciate you taking the time to leave this feedback, and are glad you saw so much value in the training and mentorship we strive to champion across the company. We do operate in a highly technical industry where there is a lot of product innovation and rely on our Sales team to both educate and support the scale of customers, working with them to adopt the products that they need from Datadog in order to grow. But we recognize that this might not be the industry for everyone's personal and professional passions. We appreciate all you contributed to our growing customer base while at Datadog, and wish you all the luck on your next career journey.
