      Pros

      If you are lucky enough to have a great manager (there are only a handful), your chances of doing well as a CAE go up exponentially. One of the few tech giants that will give external BDR's the AE promotion

      Cons

      Too many to list. Extreme micromanagement culture from Director level down which leaves all of the sales floor in a constant state of fear. 10hr days are the expectation and if you're not working every single weekend on top of that, good luck! Realistically 10-15% of the 120 or so CAE's in Boston hit Quota each quarter with the rest typically tracking towards 50% or less to plan which doesn't help with moral. A key factor in Datadog's RAGGING attrition rate.

      Started great, office politics took over

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      - Team members knowledgeable and genuinely try to be helpful with however little time they have - Office is gorgeous and the perks/amenities are nice, if you have time to use them (never got to take a yoga/pilates class or a meditation session, but I did eat breakfast there almost daily because I had no time to before I got into the office) - Flexible hybrid work policy, international-friendly if you need to work remote briefly

      Cons

      - Misalignment of goals/outlooks/process amongst different layers of leadership - Goalposts move with no warning or notice until after a project is concluded and suddenly leadership opinion on the outcome changes - Busy season lasts half the year and is extremely intense with minimal preparation/training - Your specific role/scope may not be clear until a few months in
