Thank you for your feedback, both what you enjoy and where we can improve. We recognize that Sales teams during end of month and end of quarter sometimes work longer hours to ensure quotas are met, and we appreciate the impact you have on our team and customers.

Thank you for sharing this review, and we're glad to hear that you're enjoying the training, sales culture, and working alongside your colleagues. However, the cons you've shared are not representative of the Datadog experience we strive to provide our employees - and we're sorry this has been your experience while on our Sales team. We encourage you to escalate these concerns to your People Business Partner so we can learn more about your situation, and work with you and your manager so you feel better supported at Datadog.

Pros

* Very interesting set of problems to work on. * Most teams are very nice and easy to talk to, mostly good company culture. * Decent compensation. * A lot of very talented people to work with.

Cons

Only a select few get promotions beyond Senior Software Engineer. Once you want to get promoted to a Staff Engineer, you're told that for that position you have to work on large multi-team problems, but you're not given time to do that because you're still a Senior Engineer and have to work on firefighting and regular stuff. Very disappointing for me.
