Pros

- great snacks in office - hybrid schedule is nice - Datadog is well known in industry - best in class product

Cons

- on the rep level, org is not doing well. on org level, org is doing well. org attainment is probably above 100% but median rep attainment is probably 20% - territory is awful. lots of software companies with 5 engineers and 4 of the 5 are in India. truly ran through. - inbound is virtually non-existent - managers keep leaving - rep tenure is awful - very very few promotions upmarket (like 2 reps a year out of a sales floor of 90) - required to be in the office until 5:30pm every day. no flexibility on in-office days
