Pros

Hard to think of any.

Cons

Snake oil. The sales process has very little to do with sales and much more to do with begging and pushing customers to buy a product quickly and with little understanding of how it can even help them. Darktrace has maybe 4-5 customer stories that exemplify the success of the software but other than that they’re just boasting about a Mclaren partnership that no one cares about. Disgusting environment. Management has no idea what they are doing especially when leadership is solely structured from former sales people who were good at bringing in sales but cannot run a team to save their life. Extremely sexist environment. Surviving here is based on fear that you’re either going to get fired for not performing well enough or being constantly reminded that the turnover is so high so if you stay it’s somehow a badge of honor. Beware of any company that while training you says “we have no competition” because not only is it untrue, it shows they have no understanding of the market and their product’s place in it. The CRM is internally built and quite possibly the shittiest platform ever created. Massive amount of admin work for no reason. The pay is TERRIBLE. You don’t make commission until maybe the end of your first year? Not worth it for experience, not worth it for your mental health. Management and leadership act like working here is the best thing that could ever happen to you when in reality, it’s a nightmare you feel like you can’t wake up from. Do not apply here if you actually want to be successful. I wish I never worked here and I wish I took the time to read and consider the negative reviews on here before even going through the interview process. Save yourself.

Pros

Decent pay. Great training. Great team members.

Cons

It's an expensive product that begins with a cold call and comes with a long sales process (30 days minimum before we even present a contract), which equals to 99.9999% failure. Flakey leads and EXTREME MICRO-MANAGING. They track your every click and monitor the activity you put in. It's pure luck if you find a company that would want to do even a free trial. The training focuses on the technology, but not enough on what you'll be doing 99% of the time: cold calling.

Pros

- There were some nice individuals I worked with

Cons

- Salary is way too low for the job - My manager wasn't apart of my interview process - Leadership was all over the place - Sales process was way too fast for a product that costed over $150K a year, never gave the customers time to even finish the trial before trying to get them to close
