Pros

MEDDIC Playbook company KPI driven mindset You don’t get punished on negative bookings

Cons

For a sales person it’s most important to earn your commission and get your rewards. I learned that for this companythe most important things Is how to squeeze out the most revenue by paying no or less commission. The chances to make your quota are limited. Only 1-3 out of 30 make their number.

Pros

Development and management is second to none. I’ve experienced some personal and professional ups and downs whilst being at Datadog and the support on both levels has been the best I have experienced. Package is up there with what is leading in the market. RSU’s post IPO are very good and the overall package and commission is competitive, achievable. Great new logo bonuses and internal comps. Platform is insane. Some of the best tech in the market. Leading from independent reports (look). If you are an enterprise rep with any success you would have worked or know some of the customers we have. Ask them yourself about the platform. This should be key in any due diligence. The UK has grown. In my tenure I have seen attrition for sure, but it’s an environment which demands hard work ethic, grit and aptitude. Some of the individuals who have left due to poor performance or inability to develop whilst being paid decent and sizeable MBO’s is for sure disappointing, but it’s an environment where if you can lean in to what’s being offered in terms of development and support there is no reason not to flourish

Cons

Hopefully this is a little more objective than some of the previous reviews left by disgruntled under performing employees. However, it has its challenges as does every company and you should enter into discussion with Datadog about furthering your career with unbiased transparency. It’s hard work. No questions asked. This isn’t an armchair ride. It’s a land and expand model which is built on hard work, control and determination. Post IPO, certain people have left due to achieving serious success and the company for that reason is now building a new identity, a new culture. This takes time and is always open to opinion. Takes 12 months to get your business up. It’s enterprise software to enterprise customers. If you want quick money like some that have left you need not apply. MBO’s and development align to your success and career growth. Covid has created a remote working environment which is only really now being addressed. The office in London is a WeWork, which we use as a base. People are starting to be more engaged. This is not any different to other companies right now. The Market - the success of Datadog and the direction companies are headed, this has been a leading organisation in a phenomenal market. New companies are expanding their offering and getting closer. This creates more competition. Challenge accepted by most people joining. Wish you all the best in what you are looking for. Open, transparent and happy to address any questions with anyone.
