We're sorry to hear that you did not have a fully positive at Datadog, but appreciate the feedback you've provided. We've recently changed some of our sales plan structures, providing Account Executives with greater flexibility to craft their path to achievement that's tailored to their account patch. Thank you for the impact you had while with us at Datadog.

Pros

-Really good product that is dominating the market -They do a nice job at staying ahead of / beating out the competition -Free snacks, lunches, etc. -The health of the company is apparent -They'll promote you if you're willing to play the game and put up with the cons

Cons

-Work hours can be a bit ridiculous... the days are long, an hour lunch is frowned upon, and you're expected to work over the weekend -Micromanagement -Pretty fratty culture, which could be a pro depending on what you're looking for -Metrics are quantity over quality -Your voice is unheard -Comp is pretty weak, and quota seemed a tad out of reach

Thank you for taking the time to share your perspective. This is not the experience we aim for, and we recognize that areas like pay, quotas, and career growth are important. We strongly encourage you to connect with your manager or People Business Partner to discuss your insights further. Thank you.
