Pluspunten

-High-performing, driven team that sets a strong standard—great place to learn and be challenged. -Supportive and collaborative peers who are both talented and enjoyable to work with. -Strong product with a clear value proposition and solid market fit—feels good to work on something impactful. -Fast-paced environment with lots of learning opportunities. You will know more than when you walked in the door.

Minpunten

-The company has shifted over time and now operates in a culture of fear and blame, particularly from senior leadership. -What was once a collaborative environment has become increasingly focused on cost-cutting and micromanagement. -Leadership—especially from the COO to senior customer success leaders—seems more invested in identifying who to exit next than in developing or retaining strong performers. -Earning potential is routinely chipped away through comp plan changes and shifting expectations, often without clear justification. -Transparency and trust have declined significantly, and psychological safety is lacking. -Unfortunately, this no longer feels like the company I was excited to join years ago.

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.
