Pros

Great company culture, in office policy absolutely promotes collaboration. Personally, I have a great management chain - extremely flexible on work/life balance if you're meeting (realistic) expectations. Benefits are unmatched based on any other company I've worked at or interviewed for. For sales specifically, really strong product, training and sales cycle process. Great career progression opportunity. Overall, I love working at Datadog.

Cons

Low base salary. Not necessarily negative - but still experiencing 'growing pains' as far as sales processes / ownership between CS and sales
