Thank you for sharing your candid feedback, and we're sorry that this is the culture you experienced at Datadog as that's not what we strive for within our Sales department. We're actively launching manager trainings across the company to help better arm our leaders with the tools to grow successful teams and individuals, and we believe these trainings will help to teach great leadership practices moving forward. We appreciate you taking the time to leave this review so that we can address these topics with our leaders in Dublin as we continue working to build a better workplace.
