Vantaggi

Great product/market fit. Good training and onboarding programs. Some of the best training you can find in SaaS sales.

Svantaggi

1. Poor leadership - Middle managers are inexperienced. They were great ICs that were promoted but poor leadership capabilities. They don't set you up for success and tend to micro manage which has resulted in alarmingly high attrition rates. 2. Too many AEs that is resulting in account saturation and under performance. Almost impossible to meet quota as average deal size is small and long sales cycles. In APAC, only 10-12% met quota out a of a team of 30 AEs. Mind boggling. 3. Commissions are capped. No incentive to close bigger (>USD20K MRR) deals.

Svantaggi

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!
