Thank you so much for providing this feedback. We're glad you've had a great experience learning and growing from our Sales Enablement team and discovering our innovative product. For entry-level roles, we do believe in the power of in-person collaboration and learning, and we do ask our newest team members to come into the office more regularly as they grow and develop in the early stages of their career. We strongly believe that this makes for a smoother experience for someone new to the company, and also makes the role easier to learn and succeed in. Thank you for all you do, and we're glad to have you as part of the pack!

Pros

great product, package and benefits.

Cons

-severe favouritism with regards to account allocation i.e. unfair distribution which means only a handful of reps will be successful (if you’re non-british chances are even slimmer) -unfair treatment of certain reps (widely discussed amongst reps), which subsequently resulted in their forced exits. - clear discriminatory behaviour and bullying culture - zero consideration from management that colleagues share their experiences (yes, we all talk) which has indirectly contributed in around 6 reps leaving since April 22 - lack of diversity - what was once an amazing diverse environment that was cultivated from previous leadership and amazing recruitment team has become the complete opposite. almost all reps from a minority background have left (definitely not a coincidence) I won’t be surprised if they try to rectify that to improve optics. - severe toxic culture from SD’s, which for some reason is not being addressed by higher ups - micromanagement: all calls are shadowed and you practically cannot type your own emails - SD’s will place unnecessary sessions in the diary to “pretend” to help reps (fake enablement) when it’s just a ploy to look good infront of senior leadership - hopefully they can see through this facade - reps feel uncomfortable going to SD’s for support and will exhaust every avenue to avoid having to ask them. Even asking reps who are not in the same region. - other regions (globally) and external recruiters are aware of this growing reputation - joining Datadog could potentially ruin your personal brand moving forward - which is a shame as the product and wider company functions.

We appreciate you leaving this feedback, and apologize that your experience at Datadog and with leadership has been anything but positive. We take these matters seriously and want to first and foremost let you know that you have been heard, and our People Business Partners are addressing these issues with our leadership team. We strive to create an environment of inclusivity, enablement and operational excellence, and do not tolerate poor behavior. Our leaders go through continued training around unconscious bias, team coaching, and career development, and we set high standards for our leaders to maintain the psychological safety and success of their teams. We encourage you to speak directly with your People Business Partner on this so we can find solutions to these issues together, and make Datadog a positive workplace experience for you once more. Thank you for your continued impact with the company.

Thank you for taking the time to leave this review. As we scale at hyperspeed, we're continuing to reevaluate processes, growing orgs, and cross-functional communications to ensure we perform at the top level with as few growing pains as possible. Like many growing companies, we're figuring out these challenges as they arise and ask for continued patience and feedback just like this so we can continue to build a great place to work for all Datadogs. Thank you for all you do, and we're lucky to have you as part of the pack.
