Thank you for sharing your candid feedback, and we're sorry that your experience was anything but positive at Datadog as that's not what we strive for within our Sales department. We are actively launching manager trainings across the company to help better arm our leaders with the tools to grow successful teams and individuals, and we believe these trainings will help to teach great leadership practices moving forward. We recognize both the demand and reward of this role as we navigate this hyper-growth environment, and are working to smooth out growing pains in our Sales processes as the demand of our product continues to increase in today's industry. To mitigate some of these challenges, we're actively growing our global Sales org to add support as we scale and seek to help more and more customers. 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.

Fine if you’re on the right team

Pros

Benefits are fine (good but you could do better in NYC tech…), good solid product, a lot of kind hard-working people.

Cons

Can’t vouch for other teams but my department made me feel disposable. Weak attempts to address feedback everyone gives each quarter. Plus the end of my employment came abruptly, and with vague reasoning on mgmt's part. My manager told me straight up there was no path to promotion for my role (!) which as someone beginning their career in tech was very discouraging. There were some lovely people on my team but obviously mgmt doesn’t care employee retention.
