Pluspunten

Getting to know the technical space and learn a great product. If you are willing to grind with late nights, sometimes even prepping on sundays, without little to no return depending on your circumstances (territory, manager, account list) then this is right for you.

Minpunten

Not a 9-5 job. Get ready to be your own BDR and dedicate a ton of time to outbound PG but also work on closing and following up with opportunities. Some help from SDR side, on average they would send over 1 call a month. If your manager is an outside hire, you could be at a huge disadvantage. Good accounts to work are scarce so hitting weekly goals is rare for the entire floor. Quota is unrealistic, 10-15 % of reps hitting their number. Flight risk is HIGH especially for new hires this past year. Its true that the rich get richer and the newer people drown or month over month just spin their wheels here. Unfortunately a huge lack of diversity and overdue efforts towards diversity and inclusion. Peoples team kept promising change on that side and took down ideas from folks but seems like those ideas to make individuals feel more inclusive are just kept in a box. Lack of training for leadership on lending privilege.

Pluspunten

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.

Minpunten

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.
