Pros

Benefits, culture of inclusivity and respect, great product, quality enablement

Cons

Datadog moves at start-up speed despite being a publicly-traded company which can result in ever-changing processes, lack of integration and communication among departments. Some of this can have direct downstream impact on Sales which is very frustrating when commissions is 50% of your comp package.

Pros

- For those who are coachable, willing to put in the work, and eager to learn skills that will carry them throughout their future sales career Datadog is a great place to be - Company has had NO LAYOFFS in the commercial AE + SDR org in a market where everyone seems to be laying sales teams off - Great senior leadership, who love to be involved in deal cycles so everyone (directors, managers, AEs, SDRs) can learn from the best

Cons

It is highly competitive and you need to work hard. Outbound focused pipeline generation which requires high level of organization & effort in the first 1-6 months which new AEs or inbound-experienced folks might have a learning curve... but many people who learn & adapt early exceed ramping quotas to make GREAT money in the first 3-9 months
