      Irish division = racist, micromanaging, slave labour

      Sales development representative
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Product is great and very competitive in busy market.

      Cons

      Be prepared to say goodbye to your home life. To manage the metrics daily expected of you, you will have to work minimum 14 hours a day. I have never seen such a poorly managed and poorly run business in my life. This explains the huge churn in staff. I used to work in a call centre with diallers and not even that was half as bad as this. You are micromanaged to a point I have never seen before. There is a minimum of 3 team meetings per day which make no sense. You have to call out your predicted forecasts on calls with the entire sales division? Its absolutely comical. So they can praise the 3 people that over perform and then punish the entire region that aren't. Racist comments were made everyday. Please be aware. The team is full of gossips. They pay the worst salaries in the industry, but expect the most. You get around 70 accounts (in total) in a minuscule region and expected to hit your number. Half of these accounts are duplicates and in the wrong country. Overall really dissatisfied in this horror show.

      We appreciate your candor in leaving this review, and are sincerely sorry that this was your experience with Datadog. Our People Business Partners are activetly digging into the issues you've brought to our attention here through listening tours we're conducting across the Sales team, and we encourage all employees to come to their PBPs with any internal problems they face so we can work to solve them together as we continue to scale rapidly and experience growing pains along the way. We also have all folks across the organisation attending Behaviours of Inclusion and Actions of Inclusion training to be informed to build and maintain an inclusive environment surrounding DEI. We will not tolerate any slander or gossip within the organisation and will do all we can to mitigate this in the future through better trainings for managers and employees around leadership, allyship, and professional development. Thank you for your transparency and know that we will actively be working to learn from these missteps in creating the best culture we can for our employees.
