Darktrace reviews

Management is immature and managers, directors and VPs are being promoted based on favoursim rather than actual competence of leading a team or having any people skills. Some get promoted because of hitting a percentage of quota, but that does not mean they are capable of leading a team. If you don’t belong to the inner circle of management, you will simply not succeed as the very rare opportunities and leads will be handed to favoured employees which are used to make management themselves look well. There is no cultural understanding of business nor local cultural respect towards different cultures of customers and employees. The majority of the employees that are in a favoured position relocated from HQ in the UK, and don’t adapt to the business environment here resulting in a toxic team environment. Employees are made fun of on team- wide calls by managers and VPs as if it is normal. Reflecting the lack of professionalism. High turnover, people leave within 1-2 years and they are constantly hiring to make up for the turnover. They will make it look like in interviews that they are hiring because they are growing in the region, in reality the amount of customers is rather minimum and again - only a handful of people get the chance to work with actual customers rather than endlessly chasing low opportunity leads. Territory division is unrealistic for most people to hit quota. Very underpaid, especially for this region. No benefits or expat packages, just a base salary and a commission structure that is made sound better than it really is. What you will make in commission + base is not even 50% of what you should be paid in this industry and this market. However, the payment structure simply reflects the fact that they just hire fresh grads or people with very minimum sales experience. There is no employee that is actually hired for their expertise or experience in the industry.

Low pay. Hard sell due to price of products.
