      Great company-mediocre leadership

      Sales development representative (sdr)
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Great package overall! Offices are unique locations, and the vibe is great at the office. The colleagues are amazing. Learning and development within Datadog is very well structured and help you grow in our careers

      Cons

      Extremely childish culture. It feels like managers take care of a bunch of kids. Not a fan of the culture within the sales department for that reason. Plus targets are the same worldwide with no reason, resulting in certain markets making bank and others being a struggle. The 1:3 (1 sdr for 3 AE) slpit ratio is completely off, leading to AE only doing an SDR job at this point. A 1:1 or 1:2 split would be best in this economy. Never saw culture or values being put in action/put to use

      Some Growing Pains

      Senior software engineer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      1. Quickly growing company with a great product. 2. Fair compensation and benefits

      Cons

      1. Lack of a proper engineering career path - There are not many engineering levels which means that there are Senior Software Engineers with a difference of 10+ years of experience, all with the same title. Getting promoted to a Staff Engineering level can be extremely difficult as compared to other companies. 2. Not remote-friendly - While they do hire for remote roles much of the engineering teams are office based and it can be difficult to integrate as a remote engineer. 3. Lots of junior engineers - The ratio of junior to more senior engineers is far greater than in many other places where I have worked. I have to do a bit more hand-holding at Datadog.
