Pros

- Culture was great pre-CRO. The CRO is no longer at the company. - High levels of autonomy. Meritocracy was a key driver for career success at the company. - Innovative technology, was one of the first true AI cyber security products. - Collaboration between technology team members was great and technical leadership was strong.

Cons

- Previously appointed CRO dramatically changed the culture. Higher turnover rates with great technical and sales people leaving. - Lots of unqualified hires into tech/sales roles with no cyber security experience.

Pros

None to mention at this time.

Cons

Private Equity owned. Lots of turnover. Immature product that has tons of bugs. No demo environment. We had to use customer production environments to demo DT products to other customers. Had to wear the hat of presales, postsales, marketing, customer success, etc...overworked with minimal internal support. The product does not function as it is sold to. Very inexperienced and immature staff in many departments. They are very far left leaning and WOKE all over the place.

Pros

The base is constant at 55k or it has been in my 2 years of being here. Commish changes every 6 months but usually the pay per meeting rate is pretty darn good. The WFH is nice and they are really understanding if you need to miss some office days if you work from home. The product is good and decently well known in the space. Fellow SDRs are open and kind. If you figure out how to hit your numbers, the job is a breeze and you will not be under a microscope. Benefits come at no cost (insurance).

Cons

In house built CRM is horrific and no joke the main cause of almost every single issue in the sales and marketing department. The CRM is so bad, most sales leadership does not how to use it, so they are clueless on what the actual problems are. Micromanagement has been increasing drastically since DT was acquired on all sales roles from AEs to SDRs. Most of SDR leadership never had an SDR role outside of DT. The training here is not good, you are basically thrown in the ocean and expected to swim. If you cannot figure out how to book meetings with the garbage CRM, you better have high dials, if not, expect to for leadership to come for you. Legit the CRM is the main issue for everyone but leadership is not great either.
