Pros

Company is great. Friendly people, everyone willing to help. Share price is great. Great direction in terms of technology, and well ahead of the competition. A lot of growth in terms of revenue, and a lot of internal promotions.

Cons

Some process to navigate when getting things done. Its a company coming to terms with its size.

Pros

Datadog has a strong product, smart coworkers, and a fast paced environment that teaches you a lot quickly. I learned a tremendous amount about observability, technical discovery, outbound prospecting, and how modern engineering organizations operate. The company has also gives reps exposure to large accounts and technical conversations early in their careers.

Cons

The ramp for newer AEs can feel steep, especially in a hgihly competitive outbound environment. Success often depends on timing, territory, pipeline momentum, and consistent coaching. There can also be a significant pressure tied to activity metrics and pipeline generations, which may be difficult for reps still developing confidence and process consistency.
