Pros

Very little positives to say, some nice people but not that many

Cons

Terminated 6 days after raising a formal complaint about bullying from a senior member of staff. HR and manager outright lying to cover for their friend who has a history (according to other team members) of bullying new staff members. Raising it as a formal issue will see your manager terminate your contract to avoid it being escalated and HR will lie and say that formal documentation doesnt exist (it does) and no complaint was made

Pros

Datadog has a strong product, smart coworkers, and a fast paced environment that teaches you a lot quickly. I learned a tremendous amount about observability, technical discovery, outbound prospecting, and how modern engineering organizations operate. The company has also gives reps exposure to large accounts and technical conversations early in their careers.

Cons

The ramp for newer AEs can feel steep, especially in a hgihly competitive outbound environment. Success often depends on timing, territory, pipeline momentum, and consistent coaching. There can also be a significant pressure tied to activity metrics and pipeline generations, which may be difficult for reps still developing confidence and process consistency.
