Pros

Really nice company to work on. The company is growing everyday. There’s a lot of benefits: - really interesting work and product; - awesome on-boarding and welcome pack; - nice atmosphere; - pro / personal life balance is fine; - catered meals 3 times a week; - free snacks / drinks all week; - really great health insurance (for you and your spouse, children); - a lot of possibilities to travel with at least one trip to New York per year (plane, hotel, food paid by the company); - a huge possibility to move internally (New York, Boston, Dublin) or to work in remote (San Francisco, Toulouse, London, Tokyo, Sydney...); - good development prospects; - referral bonuses; - Game Center: foosball / PlayStation / switch; - paid gym (75%); - child care; - stock options (RSUs); - participation bonus; - transport reimbursement.

Cons

If I really had to say something I would say that they “only” reimburse 50% of the transports cost

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.
