Pros

- SKO in Disney - Company name opens doors at other companies/gets you interviews - a lot of social events, coworkers are great - benefits - generous ramp - training and onboarding in NYC - good company to work at for a year or so then move elsewhere

Cons

- micromanagement - pay is below market (base is low, OTE can be appealing but unattainable) - very little # of commerical AEs hit quota - No direction or support from management/not helpful at all - So many reps get PIPs so more fear than motivation, seems like a revolving door

Pros

Great company culture, in office policy absolutely promotes collaboration. Personally, I have a great management chain - extremely flexible on work/life balance if you're meeting (realistic) expectations. Benefits are unmatched based on any other company I've worked at or interviewed for. For sales specifically, really strong product, training and sales cycle process. Great career progression opportunity. Overall, I love working at Datadog.

Cons

Low base salary. Not necessarily negative - but still experiencing 'growing pains' as far as sales processes / ownership between CS and sales
