      Pros

      good place to work with not much crunch. relaxed atmosphere to the point where my manager would "go out" in the middle of the afternoon and come back noticeably high

      Cons

      he wouldn't share any of his bud

      Decent Company / Slow Paced

      Senior technical program manager
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Decent people, reasonable pay and perks and fast growing share price

      Cons

      Slow paced, enterprise sales cycles. A lot of employees claiming to not like or want any process or bureaucracy, while not realizing how much process and and how many inefficiencies they already have. I left a giant company (think 100k+ employees) to join Datadog (1000 employees) and I experienced more politics and unnecessary process in 1.2 years at Datadog than I did in 5 years at previous company. Additionally, no 401k matching as the billionaire owners don't believe it is something they should offer employees.

      Great Product, Poor Practices

      Sales development representative (sdr)
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      The product is great. The product marketing team works great on training and marketing materials. The initial on-boarding training all employees go to is really well executed.

      Cons

      Poor culture overall. When I was in Boston training, I felt like I was in the movie Good Will Hunting, Boston bros and east cost gals. A large majority of the new Denver reps are from Boston, and have a very inclusive group. Unless you are a bro or a size 2 blonde female, they do not want to work with you. The team I was sending leads to did not like me, and hurt my numbers as a result. Last, the lack of resources to be successful in the role requires SDRs to complete several tasks distracting you from quota carrying KPIs. Base pay is low.

We appreciate you taking the time to leave this review so that we can address these topics with our Sales leaders in Denver.
