Pros

- Strong global brand and respected product in the observability space - Good logo value for future career opportunities

Cons

- Very high-pressure performance environment with sustained quota intensity - Significant emphasis on short-term results over long-term deal development in some teams - Manager quality and coaching depth vary widely, employee experience depends heavily on immediate leadership - Work-life balance can be difficult to maintain during performance review periods - Ramp expectations can feel aggressive relative to the time needed to build stable pipeline - Not an environment that suits every selling style, especially relationship-led or consultative sellers early in ramp
