This is the real Boiler Room, stay away!

Pros

Great tech for the commercial market

Cons

If you have seen the movie Boiler Room and like it, this is the place for you. Sales leadership is an absolute joke from the twice a month "All Hands Call" where nothing is learned other than who's in the good old boys club to the the weekly Slack asking "who's closing what?" from the CRO. They talk about the rocket ship revenue growth but don't tell you its all in the commercial market. They are not ready for Enterprise sales, ask them to name their top 10 Enterprise customers and the revenue associated with those accounts. It's a 12-18 month sales cycle and they promise a long runway to build your business/funnel but you will be on a performance plan by month 6. Turnover is extremely high...as of today there are 1,263 employees and 701 former employee's according to LinkedIn. If you are applying for a job here, I highly recommend you reach out to get the real story from the person you are replacing.

Pros

An incredible product providing one of the best solution on the market. People from Engineering and Sales team are really focused on bringing the best to our clients. We've been growing very fast for the past 3 years and the everyone is working to make sure that Datadog innovates on all the pillars that constitute our platform. It's a very dynamic pre-IPO company and you can feel it on a daily basis. A lot of recognition from our customers and partners.

Cons

A lot to deliver but it is worth it regarding the company's situation on the market
