      Great product, bad management/ culture

      Commercial account executive
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Awesome product, well known in the market Good benefits State of the art office

      Cons

      Churn and burn environment / high turnover rate “Just a number” environment Poor management — listen to your team. Provide feedback and guidance when asked instead of just dismissing people Micromanagement - hyperfixated on dial and email metrics even if youre exceeding quota. Lack of diversity - mostly all white men in the colorado office with a few exceptions Theres a ton of green field in the US but youre assigned 80 accounts that youre restricted to. Accounts are dispersed unevenly and makes it hard to be as successful as you could be. Most accounts youre assigned have teams exclusively located overseas so you spend a ton of time outside of working hours taking calls and making dials or else its almost impossible to find success

      Avoid The Technical Support position

      Solutions engineer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Datadog is a good company in terms of product.

      Cons

      Management at certain organizations doesn't quite know what they're doing; the Datadog culture is dying because of senior leadership changes. In stead of promoting tenured people, they hire new people with significant higher salaries and cap the raise ( which is minimal). Salaries for the support role is lower than industry standards too and yet they are very cut-throat about performances and metrics. There's little internal mobility although they promise it. Once you get here it's stuck. With the technical support roles, they don't take measures to set customer experiences despite promising it for a very long time. I'm afraid Datadog has become the typical corporate trap in every single aspect.

      Great for jumpstarting your sales career

      Pros

      Incredible product and mentorship. If you are looking to jumpstart your sales career, Datadog is the best place to do that. From all the trainings, to great sales leadership you'll have everything you need to be successful

      Cons

      There is a bit of a fratty culture tied to Datadog. Additionally, the base pay is really low in comparison to other market opportunities.
