Vantaggi

Great coworkers, office was really cool with catered lunch 3x a week, fun events after work

Svantaggi

Unfortunately I feel most reps aren't set up for success, or maybe it depends on your manager. Account distribution was anything but equal, and favoritism was a bit ridiculous. I also don't think quotas have been reevaluated in a LONG time, it 's a lot more difficult to hit 5k a month when you're working a with a capped number of garbage accounts (many going under) vs 2 years ago when tech was booming and there was a fraction of the number of reps. I also felt like we were treated like children regarding work hours, where in the office we were "allowed to make calls," working remotely, etc. The VP of Sales from Boston is incredibly controlling about things that really don't matter, and it trickles down and kills the culture. By the way, culture PLUMMETED from when I first started til I left.

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.
