Pros

Great company culture, in office policy absolutely promotes collaboration. Personally, I have a great management chain - extremely flexible on work/life balance if you're meeting (realistic) expectations. Benefits are unmatched based on any other company I've worked at or interviewed for. For sales specifically, really strong product, training and sales cycle process. Great career progression opportunity. Overall, I love working at Datadog.

Cons

Low base salary. Not necessarily negative - but still experiencing 'growing pains' as far as sales processes / ownership between CS and sales

Lack of Empathy and Trust

Pros

There are quite a few good benefits.

Cons

Management at the Mexico office is disorganized and overly controlling, with little regard for the team’s well-being. Rules change constantly, communication is poor, and genuine support is lacking. Instead of fair treatment or competitive pay, we get snacks and dinner parties as a substitute for real recognition. Overall, it feels like employees are not truly valued.
