Pros

Interesting and challenging work. Great coworkers across all teams - folks here are smart, kind, and helpful. The company genuinely cares about its people, providing strong work/life balance and benefits/perks (catered meals, healthy snacks, weekly fitness classes, etc.)

Cons

Scaling quickly, some growing pains to be expected. As long as you are generally adaptable you will be fine.

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.
