Trust me: Don’t do it

Inside sales representative
Recommend
CEO approval
Business Outlook

Pros

- fun people though everyone in inside or outside sales is looking for a new opportunity ASAP - young environment - some commission - good health dental etc - if you are an AE you don’t get anything through inside sales.

Cons

- extreme micromanagement - one track path (sales) - favoritism and corrupt management - no training - extreme unprofessional behavior - have to fight for your own commission - super cheep: keep say we are growing but 0 reward... - no 401k Everyone who is in inside or outside sales is on their way out. Darktrace hires awesome employees, yet looses them in a 6month to 1 year period due to their own lack of investment. Culture is awful. They recruit young athletes to exploit their work ethic but give them 0 tools, compensation etc.

Not your long-term solution for your career

Cyber security
Recommend
CEO approval
Business Outlook

Pros

-Ability to travel to different places domestically and get exposure to various types of industry (Health IT, law firms, retail, etc.) -Opportunity for entry-level position and initial exposure to cyber security field

Cons

-No career growth. No training. Quota-driven and no passion towards employees. You're not gaining any real experience that can be useful outside of the company. -Management rarely has your back -No equity or 401k You know the saying: you don't quit a job. You quit a manager. In this case, however, you also quit the job because the career outlook is not so bright here. Culture is toxic and majority (not all) of colleagues are too pompous and think too highly of themselves when most of the legwork has been contributed by the guys in the Cambridge, UK HQ. Go look somewhere else, unless you're looking for an entry-level position and desperately need a job. On paper, you will at least get "experience" but I wouldn't stick here for the long haul. But then again, I wouldn't recommend this place in the first place since it can set you back career-wise and it would be waste of time.

Pros

Darktrace is accelerating at 100 mph - some find the pace of work dizzying, others thrive. If you are looking to cruise along in a highly-structured role with a predictable day-to-day, then this isn’t the company for you. If, however, you are looking for a challenge, job diversity and the opportunity to work with truly talented people, Darktrace is well worth considering. While the rate of growth means expectations are high, it is genuinely exciting to be part of something challenging the status quo. Cyber security is a fantastic space to be in currently and there is big demand for intelligent technology. A definite meritocracy, hard workers are promoted in half the time it takes in larger corporations. Fresh grads work closely with senior management, are given substantial responsibility and the freedom to do things their way to achieve results. Decisions result in quick action without pointless process. Account Executives interact with top-level staff from a wide range of industries, getting the opportunity to travel nationally and internationally. Personally, I have made some great friends at Darktrace and have learnt a tremendous amount. With many different projects on the go, I really value the breadth of experience I get from my job. Of course you have to take the highs with the lows – but that’s life!

Cons

Employees are expected to throw themselves in and ask questions – a learning approach which doesn’t suit everyone. If you like strict hours, a set routine and clear progression, Darktrace will not give you this. You will be pushed and it can be hard juggling what sometimes seems like a million urgent things at once, but ultimately it comes down to the kind of person you are and what gets you out of bed in the morning.
