Regarding your concerns, we do regularly review compensation to ensure it’s competitive within the market.

Great company to work for, perks and terms, culture, colleagues, easy to sell products, looks great on your CV.
Cons
Junior entry level department mentality- no recognition for employees, low morale, dismissive management, unreasonable KPIs.
No career path or plan for Customer Success. If you are interviewing for this job make sure you are ok with the career path, promotions, internal mobility opportunities and realistic timeline.

We appreciate the impact you had while at Datadog, and wish you all the best in your future endeavors.
Great culture, lots of smart people working in the company.
Cons
A lot of leaders were promoted internally which can be good but also limit perspectives from different companies and markets. Should seek for more tenured people on leadership positions.
Smart and friendly coworkers, fair leadership for the most part, relatively good work-life balance, comparable benefits, nice office, free snacks.
Cons
The quality of lunches has declined dramatically recently. Some teams seem to have very toxic cultures.

Great office culture, smart people, excellent product
Cons
Promotional path to enterprise is nearly non existant, it's built for failure and to have reps rot in the seat for as long as possible
