Pros

Great people, great location in the city, insurance fully paid for, 15 pto and 5 personal days. Lunch on fridays

Cons

Everything else. No motivation to get up and go to work because the morale of the company is just terrible. No company structure, micromanagement to the core. No training at all, they just throw you in and expect you to produce within the first 2 weeks. Extremely low pay for working in SF. No real benefits other than insurance. They only look out for what’s best for the company and how it’s doing. Not much is shown to show appreciation for its employees.

Pros

Autonomy & Independence: You get great autonomy to build your own schedule. It operates very much like a true field sales motion, which is great if you value independence. Perks: There is a high degree of expense freedom, and the Sales Kickoffs are a definite highlight.

Cons

The company is currently gasping for air and is super misaligned. There is absolutely no sense of direction. The Go-To-Market (GTM) strategy obviously doesn't work because leadership changes strategy it every Half because of poor performance . Turnover is INCREDIBLY HIGH, people was congratulating me that I made it at Darktrace more than a year when I left, which is never a good sign for a company. CEO REPVUE- stated that only 15% of reps hit their goal attainment at Darktrace from it's reviews. If you apply here, you need to know exactly what you are getting into and be willing to work extremely hard just to help dig the company out of a hole.
