Thank you for sharing your Datadog experience and appreciation for the benefits we provide employees, including free catered lunches in many of our offices. We're a company that strongly believes in autonomy and innovation, seeking to mitigate any micromanagement in leadership. However we recognize that there's a fine line between micromanagement and directional guidance, and we encourage you to be transparent in sharing this feedback with your manager, or alternatively your People Business Partner, in order to ensure you feel confident that you're on a path toward success. We appreciate all you do for Datadog. Thank you!

We appreciate you taking the time to leave this review. Growth mindset is a pillar of our culture, and we're glad you've learned so much about the tech industry, sales methodologies, and customer-centricity as you build your Sales career here with us. We continue to adapt our culture, benefits and compensation to meet the needs of our employees, and our People Business Partners review these regularly to ensure our total package offering is indeed competitive in comparison with the market. We will take this feedback into consideration as we review compensation again this year. And as we grow, we continue to revisit our promotion structure to remove any internal politics and rely solely on merit performance. We encourage you to bring this to the attention of your People Business Partner so we can ensure your success and growth in this role, and find the gaps to aid in hitting your career goals. We appreciate all you do for Datadog, and are lucky to have you as part of the pack.
