Pros

- The people are great, up for the challenge of growing with the company and working together to make things better for everyone - There are good opportunities in which to make a difference and progress throughout - Interesting, complex product offering with lots to get stuck into

Cons

- At the size that the company is, change to processes can be slower (this is not always a con, as it's clear there is heavy consideration to make the right change) - Due to the complex product offering, can take a long time to be fully productive after hire, meaning that even with growth there can still be a strain on existing teams

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.
