      On the decline

      Commercial account executive
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Office lunch x3 days a week, health insurance

      Cons

      Sales org is , the expectation is you wont hit your quota, you'll be lucky to hit 50%. Management overhired the past 2 years and now account patches are thinned out to the point they've run out of accounts to give to reps. First line managers are powerless to make any changes. Complex pricing structure has long been a known issue but nothing has been done.

      We're sorry to hear that this has been your experience on our Sales team. We hear your concerns with quota, and we believe that some of our recent sales plan structure changes will provide our teams greater flexibility to craft their path to achievement. If you continue to feel that this is an area of opportunity, we strongly encourage you to speak with your manager and/or People Business Partner so that we can understand and improve further. We strive to provide an environment where all employees have the opportunity to succeed, and we will use your feedback to make improvements where possible.

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Cons

      - UK leadership is toxic and promotes unethical working practices with a sink or swim bullying culture - Majority of the sales team have left because of this - Micromanagement on a scale i've never seen before

      We appreciate you taking the time to leave this feedback, and want to apologize that your experience at Datadog was anything but positive. We strive to build a culture of growth and shared success and don't tolerate any form of bullying. This is absolutely something we'll be addressing internally with our leadership team to understand better where this is happening, and why. Our leaders and managers go through dedicated workshops centered around Datadog's management practices, unconscious bias, providing feedback and more, as we recognize the impact that managers have on an individual's growth and success in the company. We work to keep these trainings updated and relevant, dependent on needs that are identified for our leaders and managers. Thank you for bringing this to our attention, and know that your feedback is heard and will be addressed as we continue to learn how to be the best company we can be for our employees.

      UNETHICAL CIRCUS

      Customer success manager
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Office is nice and modern. Feels “cool,” but mostly just a distraction to make you give your soul to this place.

      Cons

      - Pay is a joke. CS does the work of account managers/sales reps but gets barely anything beyond a tiny bonus, even when you bring in more revenue than actual sales reps. - Management is completely clueless. Dictatorial, threatening, and obsessed with metrics while completely ignoring employees. - Everything is “mandatory.” Meetings, trainings, SKOs, they track attendance like it’s a game, no exceptions for being sick or having a disability. Absolutely illegal. - SKO sessions were pure theater. Mandatory attendance is scanned and points counted, not learning or growing. - The in-office policy is insane. No flexibility at all. - Most of the glowing 5-star reviews you see? Probably bots. No context, no real insight. Don’t trust them. - Turnover rate is INSANE, but guess what? You can’t find this information anywhere.
