Pros

- Great product that is well regarded in the marketplace - Investment in sales training that is repeatable at other companies

Cons

- They will promise you the world with little to no proof of market in a particular territory. Datadog's market is in SMB. - Management is solely focused on appeasing the CRO and his methods that little is done to look at how to enhance the sales process

Pros

-Really good product that is dominating the market -They do a nice job at staying ahead of / beating out the competition -Free snacks, lunches, etc. -The health of the company is apparent -They'll promote you if you're willing to play the game and put up with the cons

Cons

-Work hours can be a bit ridiculous... the days are long, an hour lunch is frowned upon, and you're expected to work over the weekend -Micromanagement -Pretty fratty culture, which could be a pro depending on what you're looking for -Metrics are quantity over quality -Your voice is unheard -Comp is pretty weak, and quota seemed a tad out of reach

Pros

- product is fantastic which is becoming more and more rare with startups - culture is that of a start up that allows you to own your career, promotions are merit based and earned - leadership willing to do what it takes to help you succeed whether thats investing in your progression or being more hands on day to day

Cons

- at times asked to wear many hats - being adaptable on the fly is a requirement that surprises some - but its what you get with every startup
