      Should have known better given their founders & lead investors

      Pros

      opportunity to close big deals very early in your sales career; travel

      Cons

      Darktrace hires so young that nobody actually knows what they're doing. Most of the talent slips through the cracks, which is reflective in their retention rate and glassdoor rating. The hardest part for me was the disconnect between the UK based leadership and US operations. I wanted so badly to love this company, but I guess it's no surprise seeing how things have turned, especially given their sketchy leadership.

      Recent Grad Gig At Best

      Account executive
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      - good technology - nice UI, demos are fun - opportunity to get real life tech sales experience -sales training was very well executed and helpful - marketing strategy is pretty good

      Cons

      - if you have a strong background in sales, technology & Cybersecurity, this job is not for you. -all of management are in their 20s, they have stumbled into the role and doing the best they can but their only experience is school, so you will get the school vibe (if that's your thing) - zero mentorship (due to child leadership) - commission structure is basically fraud. You won't get to see it before you sign on. You get half of your already low comp an entire year later... No you don't have access if you quit. - this is one reason they will overhire new grads and create a toxic environment so you quit before they have to pay up. Great model for the company actually. But for the AEs, you're better off taking this off your resume as soon as you're done. Their reputation in the market is not stellar. You will still take the job, despite these reviews, which is cool, I did too. Just be prepared for an extremely toxic work environment.

      i wish zero stars was an option

      Inside sales representative
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      401k finally but it’s such a small amount that I dont see it as a benefit, Uncapped commission but nobody hits quota anyway, great people to work with

      Cons

      terrible management, micromanaging, low commission, no sales tools, no growth plan, I have openly been told that they dont have plans to move inside sales representatives to account executive roles
