Pros

Culture culture culture! It stems from the top down and the C suite are extremely positive, communicative and they really look our for how the employees are doing. Datadog compensates employees well and the benefits are amazing. (fitness reimbursement, pet adoption assistance, child care subsidy/adoption assistance and more!)

Cons

Would be nice if there was a 401k match however you will probably make more on the equity you receive.

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.
