Pros

- Great product that is well regarded in the marketplace - Investment in sales training that is repeatable at other companies

Cons

- They will promise you the world with little to no proof of market in a particular territory. Datadog's market is in SMB. - Management is solely focused on appeasing the CRO and his methods that little is done to look at how to enhance the sales process

Ran through sales account patches, below average base pay for role vs. rest of industry, can be a bit of a pressure cooker at times, high turnover
