Pros

I interviewed and started remotely - the process was seamless and the HR/on-boarding teams were incredible throughout the process. Very transparent and helpful. - Welcoming culture where your team wants you to succeed - Comp/benefits on par with the market - Supposedly the office is incredible and all the perks that come with it (lunch 3x a week during normal times etc) I personally have not yet been - however, quite a few people on my team are itching to go back, which is a great indication of culture.

Cons

- no 401k match. This is mitigated by restricted stock units, but still not ideal - nothing else to note

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.
