Pros

There are tons of smart, thoughtful people working at datadog. The product is complex so the problems are very interesting. there is always a lot to do and a lot to learn.

Cons

As the company grows its normal for priorities to shift toward keeping shareholders and big customers happy. I sometimes think that can hamper innovation, despite ultimately being good for business.

Pros

Product is so sticky and diverse, tons of greenspace for a CSM to have success expanding and growing accounts. People, office, culture, and benefits are all great

Cons

Compensation (specifically base salary) could be higher. 18-month timeline to promote/graduate to higher spend accounts across the CS org. 6-month promotion window cycles
