      Pros

      Unlimited PTO Almost all of the people here are very nice and intelligent

      Cons

      Management on the solutions team is all over the place. They do not know how to communicate at all. They basically push initiatives and major changes on you with no heads up or warning at all. They just announce a meeting, where it's nearly everyones first time hearing about anything, and then they tell you there's a major change happening. They only care about metrics/data that don't quite tell the full story. They only want to see the solved tickets amount be as high as possible; which I get from a pure business perspective, but customer satisfaction comes first. It's not worth out to pump out mediocre responses for the sake of solving tickets and customer's aren't happy.

      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.
