      Rare opportunity, bright company, great product

      Pros

      There are few companies that maintain a mix of a great end-user product, increasing technological relevancy and real enterprise adoption. Datadog has all three and much more. There are real cross & upsell opportunities across accounts. Datadog's new products are attracting real, enterprise interest. There is a unique opportunity to not only attain high earnings but be part of a rarified group of high-growth enterprise technology companies which combines real growth and great opportunities for learning all within a hyper-relevant sector.

      Cons

      A relatively technical sale- great SE's and PM's are available to assist, but the breadth of technical knowledge required to sound capable with clients is significant. This is not an old-school sales motion. The pace of innovation, release of new products and PG-focused outbound model dictate that you have to be constantly working - both hard and intelligently - to keep up. Datadog is often replacing legacy incumbents, which requires a combination of startup tech evangelism and executive champion building, especially within slower-moving larger prospects.

      False promises of opportunity

      Pros

      Great product, smart and driven people

      Cons

      Recruiters and sales leadership tell tales of newly-minted millionaires, massive deals and uncapped territories. This simply isn't true. If you joined in 2017 or earlier, you had less competition and were able to land good logos and explore many new accounts. The company is hiring dozens of people in every major area, leaving slim pickings to new hires. Worse, there is more pressure on new sales reps even though they don't have existing accounts (the source of most revenue). The pressure on new reps is seemingly higher even compared with reps who have been at Datadog for 2 years and haven't closed much. Managers tell reps one thing and then a completely different thing to their leadership. Expectations are not aligned throughout the organization.
