      Sales must not join

      Enterprise sales representative

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Free snack, nice location, great product, some talented people

      Cons

      -Extreme micro management. Salesforce and Spreadsheet is everywhere. -Unreachable quota. Only 10% hit their quote. Some doesn't close any deal for half a year. -OTE looks competitive but 5:5 so if you don't close any deal, you get only half of it (and it's common...)

      Account Executive South Europe

      Account executive
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      I was working in Datadog for more than a year and I had the opportunity to be promoted after 6 months thanks to my hard work. - The workplace culture is great, there is a lot of time spent making sure peoples day to day experience is the best it can be by providing snacks, massages, etc. and the office is amazing in Dublin 2 city center. - Everyone is very friendly and always make time to help you when you’re in need. - Great training and development opportunities. - You get a sense that it is a company that is going somewhere, there is always a drive to be bigger and better than before. - Really interesting Sales challenges each quarter - Great management for the South Europe team – The manager doesn’t hesitate to jump on a deal with you if needed, NO micro-management, 1to1 each week and she has a great knowledges on the market.

      Cons

      - Process to get the expenses back is long but we do Saving :) - You need to have a strong motivation and be proactive if you go to AE position – quarterly target are high for Europe and because DD is pre IPO, you can feel some pressure about your KPI's.

      All is not what it seems

      Pros

      Exciting growth stage of company can be appealing

      Cons

      Very toxic leadership, bleeding down the chain. Lack of clear direction and guidance from management, resulting in the fault lying with ICs False sense of security and ultimately for anyone thinking of joining, be aware to rely on yourself and manage your work strategically around metrics, even if told otherwise
