Pros

The Exec team (Oli and Alexi are amazing) , the day to day people running the business across all departments, the overall culture and to top it off, an amazing product! Once you get Datadog in the hands of smart people (DevOps, SRE, Engineers) it sells it self. The rapid time to value with minimal effort ensures customers get a very strong ROI , resulting in very happy customers and substantial organic growth.

Cons

It is no con, but worth noting. No company achieves the incredible growth that Datadog has seen and continues to see without an element of hard work. This is a PG lead business, all the support is here to help, so if you can do the PG basics well, the only limitation to how successful you will be is... you. If you don't like writing smart intelligent VITO's and picking up the phone, then probs looks else where.

We appreciate you taking the time to leave this review, and thank you for all your work and impact in your 4+ years with us at Datadog! We're grateful to be surrounded by intelligent, hard working people who drive both Datadog's business and culture. We are in a mode of hyper growth, and pipeline generation has been a Sales model that has worked in our favor to support this impressive growth over time. It's not a model that fits everyone, but for many they see much success in how they solve tough problems with customers every day through our innovative product line. We truly appreciate your impact and growth at Datadog, and we are lucky to have you as part of the pack!

Pros

- Phenomenal product and market fit (customers truly love the platform) - Great leadership and development culture - Competitive compensation that allows new reps to build their pipeline without a lull in earnings - Team dynamics are collaborative, fun and supportive

Cons

Very few cons, if any - Datadog is all about PG / new business because management knows that once the product lands with a new customer, the revenue is almost guaranteed to grow. This might be considered a con to someone who isn't interested in a new business role / doing pipeline generation themselves.
