Pros

I've been at Datadog for three months now, and I couldn't be happier! The onboarding experience has been the best I've ever had — and I’ve heard the same from many colleagues. Transitioning into Tech Sales without prior experience in the tech industry felt like a big leap, but Datadog offers incredible support for people like me. The "learn as you go" culture is truly empowering, and what's even better is how willing everyone is to help. You never feel judged for asking questions — even if it’s the tenth time.

Cons

The only con I’ve noticed—though not a major one—is the lack of training tailored to the culture of the country I’m focusing on. While the sales methodology is solid and widely applicable, some cultural nuances would be helpful to address. I’ve shared this feedback with the Enablement team. Being aware of these differences, I kept them in mind and was able to adapt the methodology to what made sense in my market.

Pros

Denver leadership is amazing. You will be in good hands with any of the SDR Managers. Amazing place to start a SDR career. Great product and easy to speak about during outreach. Prospects are generally pretty excited about Datadog. Fun and supportive culture.

Cons

Not many cons about the SDR org (outside of general sales frustrations you would get in any org). The role is a short one, just over a year until you are promoted to Commercial Account Executive. That means lots of SDR's going up for promotion all the time. The turnover rate of promoted reps in the CAE org is high. The cultures between the two orgs are very different.

We love hearing this — thanks for sharing your experience! It's great to know the Denver SDR team, culture, and product have made a strong impression. Your feedback about the CAE transition is valuable — if you haven’t already, we encourage you to connect with your manager to explore how we can better support development through that next step. Thank you!
