Pros

Datadog is a good company in terms of product.

Cons

Management at certain organizations doesn't quite know what they're doing; the Datadog culture is dying because of senior leadership changes. In stead of promoting tenured people, they hire new people with significant higher salaries and cap the raise ( which is minimal). Salaries for the support role is lower than industry standards too and yet they are very cut-throat about performances and metrics. There's little internal mobility although they promise it. Once you get here it's stuck. With the technical support roles, they don't take measures to set customer experiences despite promising it for a very long time. I'm afraid Datadog has become the typical corporate trap in every single aspect.

Pros

Incredible product and mentorship. If you are looking to jumpstart your sales career, Datadog is the best place to do that. From all the trainings, to great sales leadership you'll have everything you need to be successful

Cons

There is a bit of a fratty culture tied to Datadog. Additionally, the base pay is really low in comparison to other market opportunities.
