Pros

People here are really smart and kind; no egos in the room. Product is powerful, but the design is quite dated. Very comfortable work life balance. Hardly feels like work at all once you find your people and get a rhythm going.

Cons

Design is pretty dated, so not the most visually stunning or impressive product to be working on for designers who skew more visual. There doesn't seem to be an tastemaker at the top gunning for any sort of redesign or visual haul. It feels like the products will be frankenstein'd in perpetuity

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.
