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

Pros

Very happy with everything so far. Good work life balance and was recently told I need to up my PTO, which I think came down from c-suite which really speaks to the company culture. Personally have really enjoyed my work as well.

Cons

I've heard upward mobility can be tough due to limited management roles but not a current concern
