      Discrimination and Retaliation

      Software engineer ii
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Decent benefits, working around some smart people.

      Cons

      Racism and discrimination is what I experienced at Datadog. HR will do everything in their power to protect their managers who are guilty of this. They will blame everything on you and gaslight. I was retaliated against for approaching my manager about some inappropriate and discriminatory comments he made in front of the entire team and HR did absolutely nothing but defend him, even after he retaliated.

      Getting from Bad to WORST

      Sales development representative (sdr)
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      1) Free lunch 2) Good training to be an SDR/Account Executive 3) Good wellness stipend

      Cons

      1) Account quality is terrible.. everyone is finding their own accounts but the internal Salesforce system is so bad (duplicate accounts, accounts with 2 person on linkedin etc) 2) NEARLY impossible to hit target.. everyone is working overnight to double up as SDR, SalesOps, Marketing even though we're underappreciated by the Account Executive team 3) US Leadership is blind to all the problems in ASEAN... weird focus on pipeline generation and cold calling instead of hosting events or set up a marketing team in a very relationship based ASEAN Market (everything is a direct copy and paste approach from USA to Singapore) 4) TOO many AEs in the company... severe account saturation.... only 4 people in a team of abput 30 AEs are hitting their targets
