Pros

If you are a budding software engineer with minimal experience in this space, you will be exposed to a lot of technologies that will help you grow and build confidence in your technical skills. If you need a push out of your comfort zone..this is a good experience. Great team mates.

Cons

As the company has grown, the culture in Technical Solutions has pivoted from quality to quantity. With increased pressure to hop on calls with customers and resolve issues quickly. Training on the product is short lived and not really monitored. Your development is dependent on your own willingness to learn the product and the many technologies it integrates with. Management is much to be desired and disorganized. The Pay is low.

Pros

I joined Datadog directly out of college 3-years ago as an entry-level BDR/SDR. My long-term goals were clear to me & Datadog has provided everything I was looking for as a young rep in tech sales. I am constantly surrounded by some of the brightest minds in the industry, and am able to receive hands-on training directly from the source. I've had the opportunity to work deals with exciting logos early in my career. The enablement is world-class. On both Product & the Technology Sector as a whole. I am compensated handsomely for the hard-work I put in. (Also DDOG Employee Stock hold a ton of value) The environment is fast-moving & competitive. Meaning, you perform well, and you can advance your professional roadmap quickly. (I'm on my 4th promo in 3 years)

Cons

The Cons of being an AE/Salesperson at Datadog depends on an individuals desires & goals within their new role. For example - If someone is looking for a role with the majority of their salary coming from base pay, New Business Sales at DD (and most tech companies) is not a perfect fit. If someone is looking for a role with a heavy amount of inbound pipeline, the Account Executive seat at DD is not a perfect fit. If someone isn't driven to reach promotion in a competitive environment, and would like a more steady 9-5 role, the Account Executive seat at DD is not a perfect fit. All in all - it's an environment & role fit for people driven to make significant strides in professional development, work complex deals, and receive compensation that reflects their input.
