I've heard things have changed but when I was at Grafana I heard a top earner (female) ask for more consideration for diversity on the sales team during her QBR. The VP of sales told her point blank that that wasn't important to Grafana (CEO said something similar in email a few months later) and "the best person gets the role regardless of gender or race." That was what diversity looked like at Grafana. A lot of top earners. I found this place to be stifling with performative behaviors. It wasn't fun to work here. BUT some people made a killing. Lots of reps were closing north of $400k a year. If you can tolerate micro management, high pressure, constant pressure, "pretend to be white" at work every day, being treated purely like a number..... honestly? I don't mean this sarcastically: you'll be fine.

Grafana is a great company and a great place to work but it is not easy to move up in the SDR org and leadership across teams is often not aligned.

Very challenging space. Not only are you selling against big competition (data dog, new relic etc.) but you are also competing against your own open source solution.
