      Great company overall with some amazing perks and people, but extremely poor leadership in Marketing - Marketing Datadog Employee Review

      Pros

      - amazing benefits that are very competitive, including unlimited PTO, healthcare for you and partner, fitness and gym reimbursement, equity, egg freezing, and more - beautiful new office in prime location - very smooth hiring process (back in 2021) - travel opportunities (role dependent) - getting to work alongside some extremely talented and personable individuals (almost always mid-management and below), some who really care about their teams and have amazing leadership skills - great product - well-respected CEO

      Cons

      - salaries are not competitive at all (benchmarked against 27 companies personally all offering 50-70k AUD more for the same role) - 3 day in office requirement (depends on personal preference as to whether this is a pro or con) - terrible, poor leadership in Marketing including managers that don’t turn up for 1-1s and no communication or give conflicting information - no strategy whatsoever to our activities! - no KPIs or goals in marketing whatsoever. Only trying to introduce now - no consistent leadership (had 8 managers, 6 different people) in just over two years - no growth opportunities or clear career paths in the marketing department - some disrespectful local sales teams members which made working together very unpleasant, even after raising it for more than 6 months.

      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.
