      Great people/Management needs a lot of work

      Technical solutions engineer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Unlimited PTO Almost all of the people here are very nice and intelligent

      Cons

      Management on the solutions team is all over the place. They do not know how to communicate at all. They basically push initiatives and major changes on you with no heads up or warning at all. They just announce a meeting, where it's nearly everyones first time hearing about anything, and then they tell you there's a major change happening. They only care about metrics/data that don't quite tell the full story. They only want to see the solved tickets amount be as high as possible; which I get from a pure business perspective, but customer satisfaction comes first. It's not worth out to pump out mediocre responses for the sake of solving tickets and customer's aren't happy.

      We appreciate you taking the time to share this review. As we scale, we're continuing to think through new ways to maintain and improve communications across larger departments. We are focused on communicating thoughtfully and proactively, with routine team-wide meetings such as Technical Solutions All Hands, SPOT All Hands, and team standups. We encourage you to speak with your People Business Partner directly so they can better understand the issues you're seeing, and we can work together to address the challenges you're facing. Datadog has grown rapidly in the last year, and we ask for your patience and understanding as we navigate this hyper-growth environment together. We appreciate all you do to support Datadog's customers, and are grateful to have you as part of the pack.

      Great product, horrendous culture

      Account executive
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      -Reliable great product that will continue to scale -A leader in the industry -Catered lunch

      Cons

      -Low base pay for the amount of work they make you do -They hire from AE to managers and clearly do not train them how to manage reps in a respectful way -Quite literally, no work life balance- take unlimited PTO with a grain of salt -Leadership needs to revaluate how they treat reps, as there is extreme turn over and they don't really seem to care -Dont take this role if you don't enjoy being a BDR performing cold outreach more than half your day, with added pressure of then closing deals
