Pros

If you are lucky enough to have a great manager (there are only a handful), your chances of doing well as a CAE go up exponentially. One of the few tech giants that will give external BDR's the AE promotion

Cons

Too many to list. Extreme micromanagement culture from Director level down which leaves all of the sales floor in a constant state of fear. 10hr days are the expectation and if you're not working every single weekend on top of that, good luck! Realistically 10-15% of the 120 or so CAE's in Boston hit Quota each quarter with the rest typically tracking towards 50% or less to plan which doesn't help with moral. A key factor in Datadog's RAGGING attrition rate.
