Pros

Good training Good enablement Decent place to begin your career

Cons

Bad leadership Micro management Expectations exceed the ability to make money because you’re capped at 100 accounts 125k OTE is very unrealistic Aside for a handful of outliers CAE’s don’t do well Constant push for activity except you’re called at 100 accounts and you’re angering off the same people over and over again

Pros

-Good company name to have on a resume -Good product that has a strong position in market -Great stock options

Cons

-They require you to be in the office 3 days a week while blasting music and expecting you to cold call within a loud, distracting environment. -Only about 30% of reps hit quota consistently -Lack of support from management, and sink or swim mentality when it comes to generating revenue/pipeline -Lack of representation of women in the workplace

We appreciate you sharing this review with us. At Datadog we feel that it is important to collaborate in person in order to maintain the most impactful employee experience. We strive to create a collaborative work environment but also make sure to provide phone booths and conference rooms for individuals needing quiet spaces. We are also growing at a rapid rate, which does mean we set high expectations and goals for quotas to keep up with that growth, but our processes are something we continue to revisit to ensure they scale alongside us. Lastly, diversifying our teams is also a high priority of ours to foster a strong culture of belonging, and our hiring teams are working hard to bring strong talent into the Sales department to support our scaling and growth.

Pros

Generous PTO, gym/health reimbursement, started 401k matching this year. RSUs

Cons

Seem to operate on a "need to know" basis, even though we promote transparency I have yet to see it. Certain policies only visible to certain groups, I'd like to be able to see "the life of a team lead" for example, but content is restricted. Support feels very behind compared to other industries of this size, we are just now "figuring out" SLA's which should have happened years ago. Culture is getting very corporate

We appreciate you taking the time to provide this feedback, and are glad that you've enjoyed Datadog's benefits and perks. We're continuously reviewing processes and protocol to make the Solutions Engineering space as efficient and autonomous as possible. We are focused on communicating thoughtfully and proactively, with routine teamwide meetings such as Technical Solutions All Hands, SPOT All Hands, and team standups. We encourage you to speak with your People Business Partner directly so they can understand further context, and we can work together to address the challenges you're facing. Datadog has grown rapidly in the last year, and we ask for your patience and understanding as we navigate this hypergrowth environment together. We appreciate all you do to support Datadog's customers, and are grateful to have you as part of the pack.
