Thank you for sharing your candid feedback, it's good to hear that you enjoyed our wonderful product and colleagues. With that said, we're sorry that your experience involved negative aspects as that's not what we strive for within our Sales department. As we scale, we're actively launching manager trainings across the company to help better arm our leaders with the tools to grow successful teams and individuals, and will continue to enable them further on our product. We appreciate you taking the time to leave this review, and will do all we can to continue improving as a company and department every day.

Pros

Datadog is a great place to work. It has still startup feeling when it comes to flat hierarchies, the feeling we get with colleagues and managers. I just started a few months ago but our wellbeing is huge company focus and I never worked in such a healthy and non-toxic environment

Cons

so far i actually can’t complain about anything. Will update it when something negative comes up.

Not easy, BUT WORTH IT!

Pros

+ One of the most driven, get-it-done cultures I've experienced + The incumbent sales leadership in SG is a huge pro - especially on the commercial sales level. Truly intelligent and they understand the need for teamwork to win complex, yet high-velocity deals. They really want you to GROW, and take the time to mentor you WITHOUT "blaming" culture. Very rare! + Your team and leadership will absolutely rally around you as you get out there to win deals. There will always be some naysayers, but if you're someone that wants to perform at a high-level and understands it won't always be easy, this company WILL push you to get there

Cons

+ Not necessarily a "con", more of a fact: APAC will not have as many resources compared to other regions (US, EMEA, etc.) so you'd need a GET IT DONE mindset + You'd need a baseline aptitude for technology to do well - or at least the ability to grasp concepts quickly. It's a complex product, not turnkey at all
