Thank you for taking the time to provide this feedback. We strive to create a company culture employees are proud of, and we are glad you've had a positive experience working in our collaborative office space. Compensation is a topic we revisit annually to ensure we adapt with the ever-changing market, and that we offer a fair total rewards package comprised of salary, benefits, company stock, and more. We encourage employees, and candidates, to take this total package into account when comparing salary to other companies as we want to ensure employees feel supported in every aspect of life from medical and family care, to finances and professional development opportunities. We appreciate all you do for Datadog, and thank you for your feedback!

Thank you so much for this feedback - we love to hear about your experience! We strive to have a people-first culture and to promote transparency from leadership as we continue to grow, adapt and learn together. Thank you for also sharing this sentiment regarding salary. In addition to salary, we offer a highly competitive benefits package as part of the total rewards we offer employees, but compensation is something we continue to revisit especially as the market shifts and changes. We appreciate all you do to help Datadog grow. Providing feedback like this only helps us understand what we're doing well, and where we have room to improve, so thank you again, and we're glad to have you as part of the pack!

Pros

Datadog has built a brilliant business. Truly impressive to see how they sustained and grown their presence post IPO. They innovate and acquire quickly which has lent itself to immense internal growth across all orgs. I think your experience greatly depends on your type of manager. Would have been a really fun company to be at 4 years ago. - Great sales training in terms of MEDDIC, CoM, and deal progression - Incredible product growth and innovation - Well known in the market - Some fun events and team building - Opportunity for promotion (but not without favoritism and bias)

Cons

- Going back into the office 3 days a week, reps feel like they're being babysat. - Extremely white, bro-like "culture"... no diversity in thinking or personality. Heavy drinking at events that is brushed off as "just what sales people do." - Sales thinks they're the only ones that matter in the office and they're extremely siloed from other (extremely valuable) teams within Datadog so it comes off as pompous and uncomfortable... - Flooded commercial org with too many reps and not enough accounts... limited flexibility in getting new accounts once disqualified... Way less than 1/2 of commercial reps hit quota - (some) inexperienced and immature managers that micromanage reps... you'll essentially be a BDR for your manager. If you're looking for a first SDR position, their internal promotion track and training is really great but I would NOT recommend joining Datadog in the Commercial org as an external hire. It's extremely cliquey and corporate-like... You're a cog in the wheel and treated as such.

We appreciate you taking the time to share this feedback. We're glad your experience with our innovative product and with our Sales training and enablement was positive. We absolutely want to recognize the constructive feedback you've shared and ensure your sentiments are heard. Diversity and inclusion is something we're incredibly passionate about as a company, and it is behavior that we're working to correct—internally from leadership down through unconscious bias trainings, and externally in partnering our recruiting efforts with organizations and events that service underrepresented communities. We strive to better balance our teams. As a company we place a lot of value in our office culture—the relationships that it builds and the creativity it brings to the table. This is why we operate in a hybrid work environment and ask employees to come into the office three days a week to continue building those relationships we've missed out on in the last 2 years. As we continue to grow, we're constantly reviewing our hiring, processes, and company policies to ensure we're building the best workplace and culture we can for our employees. And while we're never going to be perfect, we will continue to strive to be better. So thank you again for sharing this feedback, it truly helps us see where we have room to improve and grow.
