Pros

Incredible product that’s a great fit in the market and adding features at a rapid pace. Market leading growth rate that will almost certainly lead to an ipo. Once customers buy that don’t leave the platform and expand quickly. Deals are getting bigger and bigger. Huge TAM.

Cons

Technology is designed to be sold to prospects with modern IT, if they don’t have that or aren’t moving in that direction, can be a challenging sale. Growing very fast so people have to work hard and it can be hard to get the right resources at times.

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.
