Pluspunten

- You learn a lot because you are getting into a very saturated market - Their training is a-class - Huge turnover in their departments so you make a lot of temporary friends - Customers will definitely know you when you try to break into an account (they have been touched by 7 Datadog sales reps before you) - Sharing the same pain creates a strong bond with your colleagues - You will be able to refer some of your old colleagues to your new employer ($ bonus)

Minpunten

- You are not recognized by the organization for the hard effort you put in, they will let you down if that is more convenient - For sales all they care about is KPIs and these are the same for every market, so no matter if you work in Africa or the Nordics you will have the same quota - They do everything in their power to not pay out sales on the deals they've closed (which happened to multiple reps) - One rep in EMEA hit their target - Everyone is demotivated and there is no trust within the organization

Thank you for leaving this review, and first we want to apologize for the negative experience you had while at Datadog. This is not the culture we strive to create across the company. We want to empower employees to excel and succeed, which is why we invest heavily in the professional development of our people. But trust and transparency is something we take very seriously with our leadership team, and we will share these concerns with our People Business Partners to ensure this behaviour does not continue. We're growing at a rapid rate, which does mean we set high expectations and goals for KPIs and quotas to keep up with that scale, but our processes are something we continue to revisit to ensure they scale alongside us. We did want to share a few of the actions we've taken within the department, based on employee feedback in the last year, that we hope to build and scale to solve for some of these pain points you mentioned: We've put a large focus on strengthening employee tools, support, recognition & empowerment; held career pathing conversations with leadership to further educate everyone on the organizations' career pathing; introduced weekly shout outs across Sales to promote positive behaviours and the great work achieved; and also launched the quarterly Golden Paws Recognition Awards to recognize top performers and team players. Know that your feedback has been heard, and we will ensure these topics continue to be addressed through solutions such as these so we can continue to improve, learn, and grow as an organization.

Stock options and gym reimbursement

Minpunten

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!
