Pros

Good products Good benefits Healthcare Stocks Fitness Phone bill Pets Maternity & paternity Remote work

Cons

It used to be good until…. Do not trust anyone here You are on your own, be prepared to fight for yourself Be careful how you seek help in solving problems as it’ll all still be used against you They tell you one thing and then change to another They set people up to destroy you They do not care about you in ANY way Forget about taking off, it’s almost impossible or you’ll be guilt tripped for doing that Many people feel like gods here, they belittle you and you become so tiny and invisible You have to constantly be loud and be everywhere to make them notice you You have to change YOU. They do not encourage diversity Your colleagues are ready to rate you so low in order to get favor from management and be promoted You just cannot be free or happy. It’ll definitely be short lived Very confused management

Pros

Datadog has a strong product, smart coworkers, and a fast paced environment that teaches you a lot quickly. I learned a tremendous amount about observability, technical discovery, outbound prospecting, and how modern engineering organizations operate. The company has also gives reps exposure to large accounts and technical conversations early in their careers.

Cons

The ramp for newer AEs can feel steep, especially in a hgihly competitive outbound environment. Success often depends on timing, territory, pipeline momentum, and consistent coaching. There can also be a significant pressure tied to activity metrics and pipeline generations, which may be difficult for reps still developing confidence and process consistency.
