Pros

1. Great work colleagues coming straight from school 2. There are a couple of people in upper management who truly mean well but are outnumbered by those who do not care

Cons

1. Corrupt management (former autonomy management) 2. Very bad perks compared to similar successful tech companies in the Bay Area with similar turnover (a search on Linkedin for people who have worked at Darktrace will give you a feeling for average turnover, last time I checked it was around 1.5 yrs, look at similar successful tech companies in the Bay Area and the perks they offer in comparison: look up this on business insider: average-employee-tenure-retention-at-top-tech-companies) 3. Shadow politics: I would run the following websites: invoke capital team, the executive team on Darktrace through this tool: "WayBackMachine", it will help point out which executives used to work there, I would have questions for your interview about why some of the changes exist or what may have happened for them to move on To summarize, if you still wish to work for this company, even after reading through the reviews, I would demand an above average salary for taking on the risks to your career and health, especially given the data above.

Pros

Travel and ability to earn rewards points

Cons

Very low pay, no room for growth, management won’t listen to employees and don’t care, very numbers driven, technical roles are bottom of the totem pole compared to sales, 1% 401k match

Pros

-good amount of responsibility early on, get to speak to C-level executives and speak at marketing events which helps you grow your speaking and sales skills tremendously (but you can do this in most tech sales jobs tbh) -nice working with people your age

Cons

-As a person of color, i feel like there was a massive lack of diversity that was missing, not in NY office but definitely in the company as a whole -bagels that are catered are always stale -executives could care less about you, they see you as just a number. Its also the blind leading the blind over there, just get new hires like a revolving door, like cogs in a machine -no real career growth, you can become a "manager" and do countless amount of work but you get paid peanuts for it -major disparity in salary even for same position -disorganized mess in terms of sales territory which cause clients to become angry when multiple sales people reach out to the same person -lack of inspiration in the company or transparency -the marketing team makes AEs do their job for them
