Pros

Cutting edge product designed for modern arquitectures. Somewhat of a niche but it excels in that space

Cons

On,y 10-15% of sales reps hit quota. You will lose a large portion of your income. Quotas are mostly unobtainable, sales culture is very toxic, focused on certain individuals only. High pressure environment and micromanaging

Thank you for sharing your candid feedback, and we apologize that this is the culture you experienced at Datadog as that's not what we strive for within our Sales department. We aim to create a culture where everyone feels they can succeed and grow, and feedback like this helps us continue to improve. We appreciate you taking the time to leave this review so that we can address these topics with our Sales leaders in Denver.

Pros

-The organization has incredibly strong leadership, especially on the sales side of things. Front-line leaders have a tough job, but I was lucky enough to work for one that would always go to bat for the team while maintaining a positive attitude during the lows. Our director, Kenny Smith, is a closing wizard and I learned more during my time there than at any previous sales organization. Shaunt Voskanian (VP of Sales) has been in the seat for just over a year and implemented a number of changes that caused waves at first, but have since created a sustainable model of identifying and securing net new logos. I couldn't have asked for a better team to learn from. -The office has all the perks you'd expect (unlimited snacks, drinks, catered lunchs M/W/F, awesome work stations and conference rooms, and beer cart on Friday) -The product(s) is/are second to none and if/when you break into an account, there's a lot of room to grow and increase your ASP. For context, when I started in Jan 18, the ASP was ~450-600 and when I left it was ~1,200-1,400. -Heavy investment in world class sales training (force management aka the Bugatti of sales training) -Datadog will IPO... It's a matter of fact so get in while you can make it easy money. - There has been an increased focus in promoting from within so there are career advancement opportunities.

Cons

-Saturated market - At the same time, it's tech. If you're doing well competitors (both proprietary and open source) will follow. Datadog releases a ton of new features all the time and does well staying ahead of the competition. -Monthly driven business means there's constant pressure to be generating new pipeline. Stay on top of the account, add value, and the time will come when they're ready to buy.
