Pluspunten

* Aggressive pay rates that aimed to compete with top-talent companies (Google and Facebook were routinely called out) * Stable company that appears to be able to weather turbulent market conditions without massive layoffs

Minpunten

* Leadership was very divorced from day-to-day work of employees, which translated to a lot of needless frustration and crunch on behalf of bottom-level workers * Company culture around DEI was shockingly poor (especially wrt. women's issues), and top-level leadership was flippant at best about these problems * While they theoretically support remote work, in practice their benefits, IT, and HR teams are entirely focused on the main HQ locations, meaning remote employees are often left floundering on their own for even basic issues * Crunch time was a constant expectation, especially for those lower in the hierarchy: on-call shifts of 3-weeks out of 4 was the norm, and most engineers are expected to contribute extra hours towards interviews (often multiple per week)

Pluspunten

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.

Minpunten

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.
