      My Time at Datadog

      Mid market account executive
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      I joined Datadog directly out of college 3-years ago as an entry-level BDR/SDR. My long-term goals were clear to me & Datadog has provided everything I was looking for as a young rep in tech sales. I am constantly surrounded by some of the brightest minds in the industry, and am able to receive hands-on training directly from the source. I've had the opportunity to work deals with exciting logos early in my career. The enablement is world-class. On both Product & the Technology Sector as a whole. I am compensated handsomely for the hard-work I put in. (Also DDOG Employee Stock hold a ton of value) The environment is fast-moving & competitive. Meaning, you perform well, and you can advance your professional roadmap quickly. (I'm on my 4th promo in 3 years)

      Cons

      The Cons of being an AE/Salesperson at Datadog depends on an individuals desires & goals within their new role. For example - If someone is looking for a role with the majority of their salary coming from base pay, New Business Sales at DD (and most tech companies) is not a perfect fit. If someone is looking for a role with a heavy amount of inbound pipeline, the Account Executive seat at DD is not a perfect fit. If someone isn't driven to reach promotion in a competitive environment, and would like a more steady 9-5 role, the Account Executive seat at DD is not a perfect fit. All in all - it's an environment & role fit for people driven to make significant strides in professional development, work complex deals, and receive compensation that reflects their input.

      Great Company! Great Product! Life Changing Career!

      Commercial account executive
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Datadog is the premier product in the monitoring and observability space. As we are an expensive product you very rarely lose deals based on the products capabilities. The sales culture here is very lively and collaborative where it is very easy to learn from your peers who are seeing success. I came in to this role from being an SDR at another tech company and Datadog has given me the skills to really thrive in a sales career at any company. The benefits are also top notch with full health coverage and $1200 for a fitness reimbursement.

      Cons

      This is a full sales cycle role where you will be making a lot of cold calls and emails on a daily basis. This isn't for everyone and as they hire a lot of people from SDR type roles you can see some high turnover. If you are up for the challenge you will succeed and make a lot of money.
