      A career defining company

      Senior customer success manager
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      The pace at which we are growing and innovating makes it so every day I am learning something new. It's impossible to be bored or complacent at this company and I've learned more in the last 3 years than I have in my entire career. Not to mention, the leadership team is one you genuinely want to work hard for. I plan to work at Datadog for a long time and see it at a defining moment in my own career!

      Cons

      Definitely experiencing some growing pains in terms of internal process and paths to promotion.

      Growing pains, the product is growing and the hiring is not up to speed. Its sometimes hard to catch up on new features.

      Micromanagement and Unrealistic Targets

      Sales
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      - Onboarding team is top notch - Great benefits - Product is solid

      Cons

      - Be weary of the reviews as the company asks employees to write positive reviews - Sales is a total bro culture, lacks diversity, and is toxic. There is zero collaboration amongst team mates since most reps are starving to make any commissions. - Sales management micromanages and has unrealistic expectations. - Even if your meeting the KPI expectations you are labeled as an underperformer. What’s the point of setting KPI goals if you really expect people to perform beyond the goals? - Every rep carries the same quota despite territory, tenure, or account list. - Long sales cycle - Reps are allowed to work any account that has a presence in their region which creates conflict amongst reps. Management knows this but care because closing deals is all they care about even if it creates conflict. Look at other top class organizations, none of them have this type of engagement model. - The only reps that are closing deals where first in the territory. - Sales management is arrogant, gossipy, and inexperienced.

      Thank you for sharing your candid feedback. Employee reviews like this only help us continue to grow better. We are sincerely sorry if you ever felt pressured to leave a positive review as we only ever encourage employees to leave candid reviews that share their true experience about what Datadog life is like, so we can learn what we're doing well and where we have room to improve. We continue to grow rapidly around the world, and operate in a high growth environment because of the speed at which we're scaling globally. And 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. We encourage you to also bring this feedback to your People Business Partner so we can work together to rectify this situation as we value you and the work you do at Datadog, and want to create a positive company culture for everyone.
