Pros

-Good company name to have on a resume -Good product that has a strong position in market -Great stock options

Cons

-They require you to be in the office 3 days a week while blasting music and expecting you to cold call within a loud, distracting environment. -Only about 30% of reps hit quota consistently -Lack of support from management, and sink or swim mentality when it comes to generating revenue/pipeline -Lack of representation of women in the workplace

We appreciate you sharing this review with us. At Datadog we feel that it is important to collaborate in person in order to maintain the most impactful employee experience. We strive to create a collaborative work environment but also make sure to provide phone booths and conference rooms for individuals needing quiet spaces. We are also growing at a rapid rate, which does mean we set high expectations and goals for quotas to keep up with that growth, but our processes are something we continue to revisit to ensure they scale alongside us. Lastly, diversifying our teams is also a high priority of ours to foster a strong culture of belonging, and our hiring teams are working hard to bring strong talent into the Sales department to support our scaling and growth.
