Vantaggi

-Benefits: gym reimbursement, decent healthcare, fun company outings, free lunches MWF, alcoholic drinks Fridays and lots of snacks and beverage options -Solid, kickass product that works, is loved by the industry and is constantly adapting (adding new languages, integrations, functionalities, etc.) -Product is idolized by the DevOps community -Beautiful office space & standup desks -IPO possibly in the future -Friendly coworkers but they all seem to be quitting...

Svantaggi

-Quota is being hit by few if any AEs in the USA yet they continue to hire at rapid rates and fail to adjust the quota. -Very low pay considering few people are earning the commission expected of the role -Leads are distributed at "random" by the sales managers, what this actually means is if you're a favorite you'll do well -Upper management often fails to look into how deals are brought in, causing some AE's to be heavily praised for work they did not do. -SDRs are overlooked and under appreciated when it comes to promotions and deals -Super technical product with little training (though they are working on this, there's a long way to go) -Managers are constantly stressed or in a poor mood due to heavy pressure to hit unattainable goals from upper management. Consequently they don't seem to know how to help their team hit their numbers. -Minimal opportunities to work from home or remotely -White male dominated culture

Vantaggi

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.

Svantaggi

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.
