      Great product, bad management/ culture

      Commercial account executive

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Awesome product, well known in the market Good benefits State of the art office

      Cons

      Churn and burn environment / high turnover rate “Just a number” environment Poor management — listen to your team. Provide feedback and guidance when asked instead of just dismissing people Micromanagement - hyperfixated on dial and email metrics even if youre exceeding quota. Lack of diversity - mostly all white men in the colorado office with a few exceptions Theres a ton of green field in the US but youre assigned 80 accounts that youre restricted to. Accounts are dispersed unevenly and makes it hard to be as successful as you could be. Most accounts youre assigned have teams exclusively located overseas so you spend a ton of time outside of working hours taking calls and making dials or else its almost impossible to find success

      My Time at Datadog

      Mid market account executive
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      I joined Datadog directly out of college 3-years ago as an entry-level BDR/SDR. My long-term goals were clear to me & Datadog has provided everything I was looking for as a young rep in tech sales. I am constantly surrounded by some of the brightest minds in the industry, and am able to receive hands-on training directly from the source. I've had the opportunity to work deals with exciting logos early in my career. The enablement is world-class. On both Product & the Technology Sector as a whole. I am compensated handsomely for the hard-work I put in. (Also DDOG Employee Stock hold a ton of value) The environment is fast-moving & competitive. Meaning, you perform well, and you can advance your professional roadmap quickly. (I'm on my 4th promo in 3 years)

      Cons

      The Cons of being an AE/Salesperson at Datadog depends on an individuals desires & goals within their new role. For example - If someone is looking for a role with the majority of their salary coming from base pay, New Business Sales at DD (and most tech companies) is not a perfect fit. If someone is looking for a role with a heavy amount of inbound pipeline, the Account Executive seat at DD is not a perfect fit. If someone isn't driven to reach promotion in a competitive environment, and would like a more steady 9-5 role, the Account Executive seat at DD is not a perfect fit. All in all - it's an environment & role fit for people driven to make significant strides in professional development, work complex deals, and receive compensation that reflects their input.

      Pros

      Interesting problems and working with great people on the team. Great PTO and work-life balance.

      Cons

      Absolute lack of transparency from upper management. Care for people and team health is sad. Have seen a higher than expected number of engineers ambush fired. Inequities between organizations on pay and promotion rates.
