Pros
- As thematic throughout these reviews, the people in the office are great. Young, fun atmosphere. - Great job to work briefly to pay the bills if you literally can't find anything else or if you want to be in sales. Even in the case of the latter, you can find a much more organized company that facilitates growth in the sales skill set.
Cons
Not typically the kind to write reviews, but I've had many people reach out on Linkedin after reading the reviews on here themselves. I finally took a peek and think it's worthwhile to clarify a few things: - Mainly, the growth opportunity is nonexistent. Someone wrote a review about there being opportunity for multiple promotions. You can be "promoted" to manager/mentor and potentially director after that. These roles are purely administrative. You report on your teams trials and deals to the managing director (be advised that the managing director will also reach out to the team members directly…so you are giving redundant updates multiple times a day) Mentors step-down after the "promotion" after realizing that their performance suffers from running around chasing down their team members schedules and updates in lieu of their own working on their own pipeline and deals. If you want a raise to go along with the "promotion", you have to ask. Beyond these two "promotions" there is no opportunity. All the real goings-on are in the UK. - Seriously read up on Autonomy. The same leadership at the helm then is at the wheel now at Darktrace. They haven't changed. - Low morale among the reps. The few employees that aren't ripping on the company are the very few ones with equity. Getting a job right out of school can be a stressful process, but don't overlook all of the red flags. - Have you ever spent an entire day sending messages on LinkedIn? Try it out before signing on with DT. Reps are expected to do 2-4 hours of prospecting daily. If you don't have meetings, you are expected to be in the office prospecting. When the recruiter reached out to me they were very clear in stating that your inside sales team and marketing department would allow for enough lead generation. Fake news. Especially with the huge influx of new reps, this is nowhere close to enough. Your management will make it clear that you need to still be hitting your numbers.
