Pros

I've been at Datadog for three months now, and I couldn't be happier! The onboarding experience has been the best I've ever had — and I’ve heard the same from many colleagues. Transitioning into Tech Sales without prior experience in the tech industry felt like a big leap, but Datadog offers incredible support for people like me. The "learn as you go" culture is truly empowering, and what's even better is how willing everyone is to help. You never feel judged for asking questions — even if it’s the tenth time.

Cons

The only con I’ve noticed—though not a major one—is the lack of training tailored to the culture of the country I’m focusing on. While the sales methodology is solid and widely applicable, some cultural nuances would be helpful to address. I’ve shared this feedback with the Enablement team. Being aware of these differences, I kept them in mind and was able to adapt the methodology to what made sense in my market.

Pros

Stock options and gym reimbursement

Cons

Datadog is a very toxic place especially if you’re in a non-tech role where you are deprioritized and uncared for. Talent acquisition has terrible, selfish leaders who only care about themselves and pushing their teams past their limits. Your colleagues will backstab you again and again to gain preferential treatment. The leaders encourage this type of behavior and get excited and make jokes about it. Additionally,I It is an environment riddled with sexism and racism — is it not 2026? NYC at that? The lack of resources and support compared to engineering is astounding. I would never recommend this place to anyone. Many of the good reviews are fake or are by people who perpetuate the toxic culture. The only good thing is the stock options. Stay far away from this place!
