      I was NEVER set up for success

      Commercial account executive
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Great coworkers, office was really cool with catered lunch 3x a week, fun events after work

      Cons

      Unfortunately I feel most reps aren't set up for success, or maybe it depends on your manager. Account distribution was anything but equal, and favoritism was a bit ridiculous. I also don't think quotas have been reevaluated in a LONG time, it 's a lot more difficult to hit 5k a month when you're working a with a capped number of garbage accounts (many going under) vs 2 years ago when tech was booming and there was a fraction of the number of reps. I also felt like we were treated like children regarding work hours, where in the office we were "allowed to make calls," working remotely, etc. The VP of Sales from Boston is incredibly controlling about things that really don't matter, and it trickles down and kills the culture. By the way, culture PLUMMETED from when I first started til I left.

      Avoid The Technical Support position

      Solutions engineer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Datadog is a good company in terms of product.

      Cons

      Management at certain organizations doesn't quite know what they're doing; the Datadog culture is dying because of senior leadership changes. In stead of promoting tenured people, they hire new people with significant higher salaries and cap the raise ( which is minimal). Salaries for the support role is lower than industry standards too and yet they are very cut-throat about performances and metrics. There's little internal mobility although they promise it. Once you get here it's stuck. With the technical support roles, they don't take measures to set customer experiences despite promising it for a very long time. I'm afraid Datadog has become the typical corporate trap in every single aspect.

      Simply a number

      Account executive
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Fully stocked kitchen, great co workers

      Cons

      Workload Work life balance is simply not a thing. Management drank the koolaid and will micromanage you. You will simply be a number here and always threaten to fire you or put you on a pip. New managers act like everything they do you have to do. Boston office was peak toxic
