      Great people and interesting opportunities

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Great culture around supporting and helping each other, Lots of smart folks to learn from Interesting point in company growth curve, big enough for lots of challenges that are not available in many other places but still small enough where individuals can have a big impact Best unity and clarity of vision of anywhere I've worked. Never have to ask "why are we working on this?"

      Cons

      Can be a bit chaotic. Company gives individuals and teams very wide discretion on almost everything which is great, but comes with some inconsistency and confusion across teams sometimes.

      8 months in & excited for everything to come

      Pros

      Joined a totally new team/new manager during the pandemic, & it's been a great experience. • Managers and Directors are very hands on in a good way, meaning that they really are in the trenches with reps throughout deal cycles-- a great asset for someone who is new to selling in the devops/engineering industry & is looking to learn from more experienced salespeople • Onboard training was great from day one despite being remote, and I can very much look back on my time here thus far and see how much me and my teammates have learned since starting • Budget for team events, monthly & quarterly spiffs with desirable prizes • Energetic sales leadership • Transparent & open communication with full chain of leadership, all the way up to the Global VP of Sales which is refreshing & appreciated • Coming from a late stage start-up, the processes are so much more defined and proven to work which I was looking forward to • Product is spectacular, as are the Sales Engineers-- & continuous product trainings • Benefits are also great

      Cons

      • Can be a little bit bro-y sometimes, but management has voiced that they're actively working on this • quota ramp is 5 months in total, but it seems to take about 10-12 months to be/feel truly ramped & to have enough pipeline to sustain a quota. If you're looking to immediately start making good money after a few months, this isn't for you

      Thank you so much for this feedback and sharing your experience at Datadog. We're glad you've had such a positive experience in your first month here, especially with the uncertainty of starting a new role in a remote environment. We will relay your experience to our leaders and the Sales enablement team who conducted the onboarding! We also hear your areas of improvement of where we still have room to grow, and appreciate your candor as feedback like this helps us see our blindspots to know where we should focus our energy to become the best company we can for our employees. So thank you again, and we're so excited to have you on the Datadog team!
