      Pros

      - stocked kitchen, healthy options - RSUs, 401k match, great health insurance - strong onboarding program, fantastic way to break into tech sales

      Cons

      - blatant favoritism, your success will suffer if you don’t fit their mold - accounts sourced are low quality, get ready to reach out to prospects who are sick of hearing from us for the last 2-3 years or are experiencing budget cuts due to the current economic environment. - leads that are occasionally sourced are frequently unqualified or outside of your territory, and must be either disqualified or reassigned. - contradictory statements are always made. They preach work/life balance but give you a workload that requires 60 hours a week to accomplish. They will say it’s okay to miss quota but get ready to be threatened with unemployment when you actually do. They do not care about factors beyond your control, only results. - only 20% of reps are actually hitting their quota. - high turnover

      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.
